Scriptures are taken from the American Standard Version (ASV) because
of its faithfulness to the ancient manuscripts and Bible Numerics, a system
designed by God for proving authenticity.
We have departed from the ASV only in the name Jehovah and Lord Jehovah which we replaced with Lord and Lord God, respectively. Neither
represents the original YHWH but Lord is less confusing to many and we
did not want this to distract from the teaching.
Numerics is a system designed into the Bible by God to prove authenticity. The Greeks and Hebrews used their letters for numbers. Therefore, the
whole Bible is also written in numbers which show perfect patterns as long
as the God-inspired original words are not departed from. It mathematically proves the original text and where it has been added to or taken away
from. The Numeric English New Testament (NENT) is based on the numeric pattern and is quoted from when necessary.

TRANSCRIBERS NOTE
My wife, Marja, and I discovered author/speaker
David Eells on the Internet a little over a year ago. Wed
almost given up on finding a church home and most of
the preachers on the tube dont get into the meat of the
Word. At the Unleavened Bread Ministries website, we
immediately noticed that all the articles, radio and video
archives, and everything, including his books, were free to
download. We started out just listening to the mp3 library,
but very quickly Marja was moved to begin translating
the Sovereign God book into Dutch, her native language.
I had been keeping notes from Davids teachings, but soon
realized that notes werent enough. I began transcribing
the audio messages one by one, entering them into my
computer to use in home Bible studies. Little did we know
that others around the world were mobilizing in the same
way and they were transcribing and translating in their
own languages, as well.

For His glory,

FOREWORD
Most Christians believe that they wont be on earth during the seven-year Tribulation Period spoken of in Daniel
and Revelation. Those who do believe that Christians will
be here predominantly believe that it will be a great slaughter of all Christians and Jews, that worldwide persecution
will accompany mass executions and beheadings. What
many dont seem to know is that Scripture teaches us in
numerous places that the Tribulation will also be a time of
great deliverance, shelter and salvation, when multitudes
will find their faith and make a stand in the authority of
God with the sword of the Spirit. It will even be a period of
unprecedented revival on the earth.
In these pages, David Eells will walk us through the
Scriptures, opening up an in-depth exposition of the types
and shadows in the Book of Esther and elsewhere to show
us an awesome revelation of what God has hidden in His
Word. We will see that in these last days, God is bringing
forth a corporate first-fruits Man-child that walks after the
Spirit of God into the image of Christ. Their ministry will
then be to call out a spotlessly-pure, virgin Bride from the
apostate church that has rejected His invitation. The Bride
will then be used to bring the rest of the true body of Christ
into that image, 30-, 60- and 100-fold.
Get ready to be challenged by Brother Davids knowledge and insight into the Word of God as he reveals the
parables of the latter days woven through Scripture. Its a
feast fit for a king and a queen!

FOUNDATIONAL NOTE
Before we begin this study of the Man-child and Bride in
Esther, a foundation is needed for some. We have started
with three small foundational chapters so that this book
may stand alone, if necessary. However, if you have recently read Chapters Three through Seven of Hidden Manna
for the End-Times, to which this present volume is a sequel, you already have the best foundation and may skip to
Chapter Four below. May the Holy Spirit help us to comprehend all that the Lord has for us relating to the glory
which shall be revealed (1Pe.5:1) in us as the sons of
God for whom all creation waits.
CHAPTER ONE
Foundation for When We Go
First, we need to understand the sequence of end-time
events as revealed in Scripture concerning the Rapture,
or catching up of the Church bodily to Christ. Apostle Paul
tells us that this ingathering harvest of the Church happens
at the same time as the resurrection of the righteous dead,
at the last trumpet in Revelation. (1Th.4:16) For the
Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a
shout and the dead in Christ shall rise first; (17)
then we that are alive, that are left, shall together
with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the
Lord in the air. (1Co.15:51) Behold, I tell you a
mystery: We all shall not sleep (die), but we shall
all be changed, (52) in a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
We know that there is only one more resurrection of the
righteous dead after Jesus was resurrected. (23) But each
in his own order (of resurrection): Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christs, at his coming.
This makes it clear that the resurrection must be at the end,
so every saint who dies can be included. As we have seen,
the Rapture also comes at the end when, together, they
abolish death. (24) Then [cometh] the end, when he
shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all
authority and power. (25) For he must reign, till
he hath put all his enemies under his feet. (26) The
11
last enemy that shall be abolished is death. Notice

that the saints who were beheaded during the seven-year
Tribulation, because they would not take the mark of the
Beast, are in the first resurrection, so there is not one before the Tribulation. (Rev.20:4) [I saw] the souls
of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as
worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and
received not the mark upon their forehead and
upon their hand; and they lived, and reigned with
Christ a thousand years. (5) This is the first resurrection. There are only two resurrections of the dead:
one for the righteous and the second resurrection for the
wicked after the 1000-year Millennium. Therefore, the first
resurrection of all the righteous must occur at the end of
the Tribulation period or some would not be resurrected.
The saints go through the Great Tribulation, which is
the second 3 years. (Rev.7:9) After these things I
saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no
man could number, out of every nation and of
[all] tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb (14) And
he said to me, These are they that come out of the
great tribulation, and they washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Jesus said He would raise up all His people at the last day,
which must also be the time of the Rapture. (Joh.6:39)
And this is the will of him that sent me, that of all
that which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. (40) For
this is the will of my Father, that every one that
beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should
12
The Man-child & Bride Prophecy
have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last

day. (44) No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him
up in the last day. If we are honest, the last day cannot
mean seven years before the last day. We are also given a
clear type so we would know when He would come in our
day. (Mat.24:37) And as [were] the days of Noah,
so shall be the coming of the Son of man. The days
of Noah are recounted in Genesis chapter seven, where
God said that after the seven days the flood would come
and the ark would lift off the earth. Those seven days represent the seven-year Tribulation, after which those in the
ark of Christ will be raptured. (Gen.7:4) For yet seven
days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth
(10) And it came to pass after the seven days, that
the waters of the flood were upon the earth. Now
we can see that the ark did not lift off until after the seven days, representing years. The 70th week of Daniel also
prophesies the Tribulation, which will be a week of years,
or seven years. (Dan.9:27) And he shall make a firm
covenant with many for one week (Hebrew: shabua,
meaning a seven of days or years).
Noahs seven-day tribulation preceded the flood, which
lasted for one year (Genesis 8:13). This year foreshadowed
the coming wrath of God on those who persecute His people during the end-time Tribulation and this wrath will
also last a year. (Isa.34:8) For the Lord hath a day
of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause
of Zion. The year-long wrath of God is known throughout
Scripture as the Day of the Lord or Day of Vengeance.
(Isa.63:4) For the day of vengeance was in my
heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. (6)
13
And I trod down the peoples in mine anger, and

made them drunk in my wrath, and I poured out
their lifeblood on the earth.
Jesus told His disciples that He would resurrect and rapture His elect after the tribulation. (Mat.24:21) then
shall be great tribulation (29) after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light (30) and
they shall see the Son of man coming (31) and
they shall gather together his elect from one end
of heaven to the other. We can see in more than one
passage that the sun and moon being darkened after the
Tribulation signal the coming Day of the Lord. (Act.2:20)
The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the
moon into blood, Before the day of the Lord come,
That great and notable [day]. (2Pe.3:10) But the
day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which
the heavens shall pass away with a great noise,
and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent
heat, and the earth and the works that are therein
shall be burned up. Obviously, the day of the Lord has
to be at the end, after the Tribulation, because it would be
hard to have a Tribulation if the heavens and earth were
burned up.
Similarly, and in a type of the end-time saints, Noah
lived a holy life, went through the seven day-years (Genesis
7:4) and escaped in the beginning of the day of wrath, after
which he came down on a new earth, for the first earth was
destroyed by the flood. The apostate (fallen away) Christians will not escape this wrath any more than the apostate
Jews escaped the wrath in 70 A.D., when the true people
of God fled to the mountains, which was a foreshadowing
14
or type of the Rapture. The unripe figs will be cast down at

that time (Revelation 6:13) and the lukewarm spewed out
of the body of Christ (Revelation 3:16) to go through the
wrath.
God will finish His born-again creation on the morning of the seventh millennial day, as He did with the natural creation. (Gen.2:2) And on the seventh day God
finished his work which he had made. Psalms
also confirms this: (Psa.46:5) God is in the midst of
her; she shall not be moved: God will help her,
and that right early (Hebrew: at the dawn of morning). So we see that early at the dawning of the seventh
millennium, after seven years of Tribulation, at the seventh, or last trump, with a great shout, the saints will fully
enter the New Jerusalem. As the Word states, the Lord
himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout
(1Th.4:16), and we shall all be changed at the
last trump (1Co.15:51-52). (Rev.11:15) And the seventh angel sounded (last trump); and there followed
great voices in heaven (saints), and they said, The
kingdom of the world is become [the kingdom] of
our Lord. Another type fulfilled on the morning of the
seventh day, or seventh 1000-year day, is when Joshua
(which is the Hebrew name for Jesus) brought the saints
up from the wilderness, representing the end of the Tribulation. The Israelites compassed the city of Jericho seven
times and blew seven trumpets, representing the seven
trumps of the seven years of Tribulation. (Jos.6:4) And
seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams
horns before the ark (seven trumps before the coming
of the Lord): and the seventh day (seventh millennium)
ye shall compass the city seven times (seven-year
15
Tribulation), and the priests shall blow the trumpets

(seven trumps of Tribulation). (5) And it shall be, that,
when they make a long blast with the rams horn
(the last trump), and when ye hear the sound of the
trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great
shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat,
and the people shall go up every man straight before him (saints raptured around the world).
(15) And it came to pass on the seventh day, that
they rose early at the dawning of the day (That is
where we are now!), and compassed the city after
the same manner seven times (the Tribulation).
(16) And it came to pass at the seventh time (end
of the Tribulation), when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua (Hebrew: Jesus) said unto the people,
Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city (The first
city of the Promised Land; i.e. New Jerusalem). The Feast
of Trumpets has long been thought to be the time for Jesus return for His saints. (Lev.23:24) Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month,
on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn
rest (Sabbath) unto you, a memorial of blowing of
trumpets, a holy convocation (Hebrew: rehearsal
for the real thing).
We can see from the Israelites experiences that the people of God were saved from bondage to the Egyptians (the
old man) and were baptized in the sea. Then they were tried
in their wilderness tribulation to prove who would go to the
heavenly Promised Land. They did not jump from Egypt to
the Promised Land without going through the wilderness,
which Revelation 12:6 and 17:3 show is the seven years
of the Tribulation. The spiritual man, the Israelite, must
16
conquer the carnal man in the Promised Land of his own

life, or soul. If we walk by faith in Gods promises, then we
take the land and bear the fruit of the Spirit. We conquer
our flesh in the Tribulation so that our personal Promised
Land is healed and we become in totality the spiritual man.
(Mal.3:11) And I will rebuke the devourer for your
sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your
ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before
the time in the field (world), saith the Lord of hosts.
(Rom.5:3 NENT) Let us also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; (4) and patience, approvedness (character);
and approvedness, hope (5) and hope putteth not
to shame; because the love of God hath been shed
abroad in our hearts (Jas.1:2) Count it all joy,
my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations (trials); (3) knowing that the proving of your
faith worketh patience. (4) And let patience have
[its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.
The Lord gave Israel three feasts, or holy rehearsals, of
seven days each: The Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast
of Tabernacles and the Marriage Feast. These represent
the last seven years of the Tribulation. In the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Gods people ate the bread of affliction
(Deu.16:3), or tribulation, for seven days before they
left Egypt (a type of the world). After these seven days of
tribulation of unleavened bread, the people of God passed
through the Red Sea baptism where the old man, the Egyptian, died and the spiritual man, the Israelite, came out of
the world. (Exo.12:15) Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put
17
away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever

eateth leavened bread from the first day until the
seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
(17) for in this selfsame day have I brought
your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Notice that
God will permit no leaven in the spiritual house of your
body during the last seven day-years in Egypt, as a type of
the world.
Spiritual leaven is any evil in the hearts of Gods people, of which they will not repent; or impurity in doctrine,
motives and fruit. Apostate religious leaders teach leaven.
(Mat.16:6) And Jesus said unto them, Take heed
and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and
Sadducees. (12) Then understood they that he
bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but
of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
The Feast of Tabernacles is a seven-day rehearsal for the
final fulfillment of the Tribulation, when no servile work
(the work of a slave) is permitted because Gods people will
no longer be slaves to the old fleshly man, as it had been
with Israel and the Egyptians. (Lev.23:34) On the
fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of
tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord. (35) On
the first day shall be a holy convocation (rehearsal): ye shall do no servile work. (36) Seven days ye
shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord
(true believers will begin to present their bodies as living
sacrifices during the Tribulation): on the eighth day
(of the Lord) shall be a holy convocation (rehearsal)
unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by
fire unto the Lord: it is a solemn assembly (with the
Lord); ye shall do no servile work.
18
(42) Ye shall dwell in booths (Hebrew: tabernacles, or the temporary portable temples of our physical
bodies) seven days (during the Tribulation); all that are
home-born in Israel shall dwell in booths (tabernacles); (43) that your generations may know that I
made the children of Israel to dwell in booths (tabernacles), when I brought them out of the land of
Egypt. So we see that the saints will dwell in a temporary, mobile temple of this physical body for the last seven
years before leaving the world.
These booths were built with olive branches mixed with
wild olive branches, representing natural Israel and Gentile
believers. The eighth day of the Feast symbolizes the day of
circumcision, when the flesh was cut off in the eighth day of
the Lord. On the eighth day, the tabernacle was torn down,
representing death or rapture. They then went to their permanent house, or new body. (Neh.8:18) Also day by
day, from the first day unto the last day, he read
in the book of the law of God. And they kept the
feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly (with the Lord), according unto the
ordinance. When this body is gone, we will have a new
one in the beginning of the day of the Lord. (2Co.5:1) For
we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from God, a
house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. This feast was also called the Feast of Ingathering (the
great harvest), as another type of the Rapture/Resurrection. (Exo.23:16) The feast of ingathering, at the
end of the year, when thou gatherest in thy labors
out of the field. Notice that God gathers His harvest at
the end, out of the field, which Jesus said was the world.
19
It is the conclusion of all seven Levitical feasts, a picture of

eternity.
The seven-day Jewish Marriage Feast represents the 70th
week of Daniel, the time of Jacobs trouble (Jer.30:7),
or Tribulation. Historically, Jacob served seven years for
each of his wives and had a marriage feast of seven days
for each of them (Genesis 29:18-28). Jesus will feast with
His Bride in spirit through the Man-child for seven dayyears, after which they are escorted by the Virgins to the
Grooms home, where she will legally be His. The parable
is clear: After the seven day-years of the Feast, representing the Tribulation, on the eighth day (the day of circumcision, when the flesh is cut off), the Groom, the Bride, the
friends of the Groom and the Virgins all leave dressed in
their new bodies to the Grooms home in heaven. Then the
Marriage Supper is celebrated. (Rev.19:7) The marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made
herself ready. (8) And it was given unto her that
she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and]
pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the
saints. (9) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed
are they that are bidden to the marriage supper
of the Lamb. Notice that the bride does not get an invitation or is not bidden to her own feast; the other guests
who are not part of the bride do.
During the seven-day Marriage Feast, those who are obedient to attend will feast on the flesh, bread and wine of the
eternal life of Christ for the last seven days of the Tribulation. God is preparing the Man-child Ministry of Revelation
12. They are a corporate body who will walk in the steps of
Jesus to once again serve this feast of the unleavened bread
and manna of the pure Word of God to the true disciples
20
of our day around the world. (Joh.6:51) I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any
man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: yea
and the bread which I will give is my flesh (He was
the Word made flesh), for the life of the world. (53)
Except ye eat the flesh (unleavened bread of the pure
Word) of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye
have not life in yourselves. (Lev.17:11) For the life
of the flesh is in the blood. It is important to note that
the bride and virgins spoken of in Matthew 25 are separate
entities. According the Biblical and traditional Jewish marriage, after the seven day-year Marriage Feast, the Virgins,
with their lamps, escort the Bride to the Grooms home to
be the 10 witnesses at the signing of the kethubah, the legal
marriage document.
There is much confusion over the identity of the Woman
in Revelation 12. She is the true Church, within which is the
Bride of Christ. After the Man-child was born of the Woman, other seed also was. (Rev.12:17) And the dragon
waxed wroth with the woman, and went away to
make war with the rest of her seed, that keep the
commandments of God, and hold the testimony of
Jesus. At the beginning of the Man-child Jesus ministry,
He led the Bride out of the larger Woman. As John said, He
that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom (Joh.3:29).
The bride in Psalm 45 is distinct from the other Kings
daughters, honorable women and virgins of Gods people.
The Shulamite bride in the Song of Solomon is distinct
from the queens, concubines, sisters and mother. Likewise,
the Bride of Christ will be brought forth from the Woman,
who is the larger corporate body of the Church in these
last days. In like manner, Jerusalem is typed in Revelation
21
as the bride but is only a part of larger Israel. It was the

capital city and place of the throne and the King but was
distinct from the other cities, mountains and territories of
larger Israel, who was a type of the church. The above types
show us that the Bride is more beautiful and more obedient to run after her lover, while many in the larger Woman
Church will fall away and be pulled back into the world
during these days. The Book of Esther portrays the Brides
determination to become wedded to the King, answering
every call of the Holy Spirit and being totally nourished by
the Word of God from the mouth of the Man-child Mordecai, as we will see.
Notice that a pre-tribulation-all-fly-away rapture is impossible to fit into the types represented by these feasts.
Like Israel, the Church will seek to flee from the Beast into
the wilderness Tribulation. Gods people never escaped
the tribulations brought on by previous world beast empires; instead, they were always crucified of their flesh and
delivered of their apostasy. In a great wilderness revival,
the elect of the end-time Church will receive the latter rain
of the Spirit, which will allow them to bear fruit and completely enter the spiritual Kingdom of God. (Act.14:22)
Through many tribulations we must enter into
the kingdom of God. Those of the Church who cooperate with the Lord and agree with the Word during the judgment of Tribulation, God will account righteous and will
prevail.
CHAPTER TWO
Foundation for Man-child/Woman/Bride
We are given several sets of parables in Revelation describing the end-time Tribulation time frame. Revelation
12 depicts a man-child and woman, shown to John as a
great sign in heaven. (Rev.12:1) And a great sign was
seen in heaven: a woman arrayed with the sun
(5) And she was delivered of a son, a man child.
Many scholars misinterpret these verses to mean that the
Woman is Israel and the Man-child is Christ, but this cannot be, as Revelation was written after Jesus resurrection and the Lord told John that the vision would come to
pass in the future: (Rev.4:1) Come up hither, and
I will show thee the things which must come to
pass hereafter. Others say that the Woman is natural
Israel and the Man-child her first-fruits, but this is also error because natural Israel, as a whole, is very lost, having
never been arrayed with the sun (Son) and only a remnant of them will be saved. (Rom.9:27) And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of (natural) Israel be as the sand of the sea,
it is the remnant that shall be saved. However, all
of spiritual Israel, those who were grafted into the olive
tree through faith when unbelieving natural Israel was broken off, will be saved. (Rom.11:26) And so all Israel
shall be saved. (Rom.9:6) For they are not all
Israel, that are of (natural) Israel: (7) neither, because they are Abrahams (natural) seed, are they
all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
(Rom.9:8) That is, it is not the children of the flesh
23
that are children of God; but the children of the

promise are reckoned for a seed. In other words,
those who are born of the promises are the New Testament
children of Abraham and God.
(Gal.4:28) Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are
children of promise. (Rom.4:16) Abraham, who
is the father of us all (the Church). (Eph.2:15) ...
That he might create in himself of the two one new
man. Jews and Gentiles who are born again are one in
the Church. (Joh.10:16) ... Other sheep I have (Gentiles), which are not of this fold: them also I must
bring, and they shall hear my voice; and they
shall become one flock, one shepherd. (Rom.2:28)
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly (a natural Jew); neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh: (29) but he is a Jew who is one
inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in
the spirit not in the letter. (Gal.6:15) For neither
is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but
a new creature. (16) And as many as shall walk by
this rule, peace [be] upon them, and mercy, and
upon the Israel of God.
The Woman in Revelation 12 is saved, so she must be
the true Church, the meaning of which is the called-out
ones. Jesus birth to Mary, who was chosen out of Israel,
was a sign to be fulfilled in the End. Just as Jesus was born
to Israel, so the Man-child will be born to the true Church
before the beginning of the Tribulation. (Rev.12:2) And
she was with child (4) the dragon standeth
before the woman that is about to be delivered,
that when she is delivered he may devour her
child. (5) And she was delivered of a son, a man
24
child. Jesus laid down His physical body in order to take

on a spiritual, corporate body through His Word abiding in
the saints. The Man-child is a corporate body within the
Church which will be the first-fruits in whom the full Word
is manifested. The devil will attempt to devour the Promised Seed by murdering the children, just as in the types of
Moses and Jesus. The worldwide practice of abortion is a
symbol of his attempt to extinguish the Man-child. However, the children are dying spiritually by not maturing in
the fruit of Jesus. Like Mary, each believer has the seed of
Jesus, the Word of God, growing in him as a baby in the
womb of his heart. As in the parable of the sower, when the
seed of the Word is sown in good ground, it will bring for
the fruit of Christ, 30-, 60- and 100-fold.
As the inner, spiritual man grows in the image of Jesus, the outer, carnal man is dying. (2Co.4:16) Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is
decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by
day. The resurrection life of Christ is being manifested in
us through death to self (Philippians 3:10-15). As we are
united with Christ in His death, we, too, travail over our
death to this world. Jesus tells us that this sorrow of travailing in death to self would give way to the joy of bringing forth the life of Jesus: (Joh.16:20) Verily, verily, I
say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but
the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but
your sorrow shall be turned into joy. (21) A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because
her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the
child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for
the joy that a man is born into the world. Jesus disciples were likened to a woman in travail who brings forth
25
the man-child in the image of Jesus in Revelation 12. (22)

And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see
you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your
joy no one taketh away from you. Just as Christ was
the first-fruits in His time, the end-time Man-child is the
first-fruits of those who manifest Christ after a time of apostasy (falling away). Seeing this full manifestation of Christ
in you as already accomplished at the cross brings power
from God to manifest it in the natural. (2Co.3:18) But we
all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the
glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same
image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord
the Spirit. Paul tells us that Jesus comes in our mortal
flesh, not glorified bodies. (2Co.4:10) Always bearing
about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life
also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. (11)
For we who live are always delivered unto death
(to self) for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus
may be manifested in our mortal flesh. (Gal.4:19)
My little children, of whom I am again in travail
until Christ be formed in you. Through death to self,
we no longer live, but Christ lives in us and does His work
through us. (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with
Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ
liveth in me: and that [life] which I now live in the
flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son
of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
Those who deny that Jesus cometh in the flesh are deceivers. (2Jn.7) For many deceivers are gone forth
(from the Church) into the world, [even] they that
confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh.
When Jesus physically comes again, He will have a glorified
26
body, not one of flesh. However, He is coming now in the

flesh of His body of true believers. Paul explains this mystery as Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col.1:27).
Jesus is coming for these people in whom He lives.
Having a born-again spirit makes us a child (Greek:
teknon) of God. (Rom.8:16) The Spirit himself
beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: (17) and if children, then heirs; heirs
of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we
suffer with [him], that we may be also glorified
with [him]. But only a born-again soul gives us the pure,
mature relationship with the Father that a son (huios) has.
The soul (our mind, will and emotions) is born from above
by obedience to the Word. God will reveal His sons, whom
He will use to restore a repentant remnant. (14) For as
many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are
sons of God. (19) For the earnest expectation
of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the
sons of God. They will manifest Sonship first in spirit,
then in soul through suffering and persecution. (Heb.5:8)
Though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by
the things which he suffered; (9) and having been
made perfect, he became unto all them that obey
him the author of eternal salvation. The sons will
then offer this deliverance to the called of the whole creation to restore the elect. (Rom.8:22) For we know
that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth
in pain together until now.
Our faith is like our Fathers and calleth the things
that are not, as though they were (Rom.4:17).
Therefore, we must claim our Sonship before we see it.
(Gal.3:26) For ye are all sons of God, through
27
faith, in Christ Jesus. Servants or children who walk

by faith will manifest Sonship, first in the Man-child and
then their disciples, the Bride and, then, to a lesser extent,
the rest of the Woman. (Pro.29:21) He that delicately
bringeth up his servant from a child Shall have
him become a son at the last. (1Jn.2:28) And now,
[my] little children, abide in him; that, if he shall
be manifested (in us as Sons), we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming (Greek: parousia, meaning His physical presence).
(2Ti.4:7) I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
The glory of Jesus will make a shining appearance
in our mortal bodies. (2Co.4:11) For we who live are
always delivered unto death for Jesus sake, that
the life also of Jesus may be manifested (phaneroo,
meaning shining appearance) in our mortal flesh.
(Our faith in the Gospel will bring this to pass.) (2Co.3:18)
But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a
mirror the glory of the Lord (we see it as done at the
cross), are transformed into the same image from
glory to glory (this manifests it in the physical realm).
(Col.3:4) When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be
manifested (in us), then shall ye also with him be
manifested (shining appearance) in glory. (Tit.2:13)
Looking for the blessed hope and appearing (Greek:
epiphaneia, a shining forth) of the glory of the great
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. This speaks of the
appearing of the glory of Jesus Christ, but Paul uses the
word epiphaneia for appearing, which refers not to the
second coming (bodily) of Christ, but to His coming in us
and is distinct from the word parousia, which refers to His
28
personal second coming. In other words, He is coming in

His saints before He is coming for His saints.
Those who fight the good fight of faith shall have this
epiphany of Jesus, either as the Man-child or as the Bride,
who is next to be born from the Woman Church because
of Him. Even this Woman, to a lesser degree, will manifest
this epiphany. (2Ti.4:7) I have fought the good fight,
I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:
(8) henceforth there is laid up for me the crown
of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous
judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me
only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing (epiphaneia). Notice that the Lord will give the
crowns to those who have loved His shining forth from
them.
The latter rain outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the
last days will come to those who believe, to restore the
fallen Church to Christ-likeness. (Act.2:17) And it shall
be in the last days, saith God, I will pour forth of
my Spirit upon all flesh: And your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, And your young men
shall see visions, And your old men shall dream
dreams. Then it will be passed on to a remnant of the
Jews. (Joe.2:23) Be glad then, ye children of Zion,
and rejoice in the Lord your God; for he giveth
you the former (or early) rain in just measure, and
he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first [month].
The Church has been living in apostasy for almost 2000
years, but Hosea tells us that when the Church fell away,
the Lord returned to His place, but in the midst of affliction
there will be repentance and the Lord will come again in a
29
way they dont expect. (Hos.5:15) I will go and return

to my place, till they acknowledge their offence,
and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek
me earnestly. Since one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, after two days, or 2000 years, on the morning
of the third day, or beginning of the third millennium since
Jesus time, the Lord will come unto us as the latter rain.
This is where we are now. (Hos.6:1) Come, and let us
return unto the Lord; for he hath torn, and he will
heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
(2) After two days will he revive us: on the third
day he will raise us up, and we shall live before
him. (3) And let us know, let us follow on to know
the Lord: his going forth is sure as the morning;
and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter
rain that watereth the earth. Just as Jesus came with
the former rain before breathing it into His disciples, so He
will come as the latter rain in His Man-child to breathe it
into His disciples. According to Paul, He has the preeminence in all things.
Jesus spoke of being perfected on the third day:
(Luk.13:32) ... Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and (on) the third
[day] I am perfected. This latter rain indwelling of the
Holy Spirit comes with signs, gifts and power. (Act.1:8)
But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit
is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses.
This will empower the saints to come into all that Christ is
because He will live in them.
Christ came at the end of Israels covenant to restore
what apostasy and the curse took and Christ in the Manchild Ministry will also come to restore what 2000 years of
30
the curse and dead religion took from the Church. He went
forth for 3 years to train the early Woman, provide for
Her and empower Her to face the Beast and Harlot of their
day; and Jesus will go forth for 3 years in the Man-child
company to train and provide for the end-time Woman in
the wilderness, give her His authority and empower Her
to face the Beast and Harlot for another 3 years before
He comes in the clouds. The greatest success will be in the
Bride, who, as Esther under Mordecai, the Man-child, will
save Her people of the larger Woman from spiritual death
at the hands of the Beast.
In Jesus day, the Roman Beast destroyed Jerusalem
but the Assyrian Beast did not conquer Jerusalem and is a
type for our day. The end-time Beast will not conquer those
who are spiritually abiding in heavenly places in the New
Jerusalem. (Mic.5:4) And he shall stand, and shall
feed [his flock] in the strength of the Lord in the
majesty of the name of the Lord his God (Jesus will
stand and feed His flock in the end-time Man-child.): and
they shall abide; for now shall he be great unto the
ends of the earth. (5) And this [man] shall be [our]
peace. When the Assyrian shall come into our
land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then
shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and
eight principle (Hebrew: princes among) men. I saw
a vision of Nineveh as the U.S. and knew it to be the capital of the end-time Assyrian Beast, which, historically, did
not conquer Jerusalem. Those corporate seven shepherds
whom the Man-child will raise up for the seven churches
will have authority to speak the destruction of the beast
empire because Jesus, the eighth Prince, will be in their
midst. (Dan.7:25) And he shall speak words against
31
the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of

the Most High; and he shall think to change the
times and the law; and they shall be given into his
hand until a time and times and half a time. (26)
But the judgment shall be set, and they (the saints)
shall take away his dominion, to consume and to
destroy it unto the end.
Just as Jesus sent His disciples out two-by-two as a corporate body of two witnesses, so the end-time witnesses
will go out two-by-two during the last 3 years. They will,
by the sword of their mouth, speak judgment of fire to destroy the Beast that wars against them (Revelation 11:37; Mark 6:7). Revelation 6:2 speaks of the white horse of
the apocalypse, with a rider who came forth conquering.
That white horse rider is Christ in a modern-day body of
believers called the Man-child, who will appear at the beginning of the first 3 years of the end-time Tribulation.
In the same way that Jesus brought truth confirmed with
signs and wonders, which made Israel and her leaders responsible to repent or be judged, so it will be with the endtime Man-child and spiritual Israel. (1Pe.4:17) For the
time [is come] for judgment to begin at the house
of God: and if [it begin] first at us, what [shall be]
the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?
This Man-child, white horse rider, will cause both a
falling away and a revival. (Luk.2:34) Behold, this
[child] is set for the falling and the rising of many
in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against.
(Joh.9:39) And Jesus said, For judgment came I
into this world, that they that see not may see;
and that they that see may become blind. The Manchild will be the first-fruits of the white horse riders of our
32
day and the elect of the Woman will also follow their Lord
on white horses to finish off the judgment after the Tribulation. (Rev.19:11) And I saw the heaven opened;
and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon
called Faithful and True; and in righteousness he
doth judge and make war. The Man-child company
will exercise authority. (Luk.10:19) I have given you
authority over all the power of the enemy.
They will pass on this authority to the Woman to bring the
same seal judgments against the Beast and apostate Harlot church. (1Co.5:4) In the name of our Lord Jesus,
ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with
the power of our Lord Jesus, (5) to deliver such
a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh,
that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord
Jesus. Just as Moses, the white horse rider of his day,
brought forth all the plagues on Egypt, the Man-child will
lead all the other judgment horses of Revelation chapter six
against the world. Jesus manifested in the Man-child will
restore the Bride, who is typed as Jerusalem. (Isa.1:26)
Restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be
called The city of righteousness, a faithful town.
CHAPTER THREE
Foundation for the Throne
(Rev.3:21) He that overcometh, I will give to him
to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.
This throne represents the authority to exercise His authority on earth for Him, for He said to His disciples, As
the Father hath sent me so send I you(Joh.20:21);
and What things soever ye bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven; and what things soever ye loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Mat.18:18); and
He that receiveth you receiveth Me (Mat.10:40).
Of course, no one will ever sit on the throne but Christ in
you, the hope of glory (Col.1:27), for it is always He
who rules in the heart and head of His Body that is to be the
Word made flesh. The Lord has chosen many heads of His
earthly, corporate body to rule in, like Joseph, Moses, David, the Son of David, Jesus, and Jesus in the last corporate
Man-child in our time. Not only does the Lord speak of maturing us unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure
of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Eph.4:13)
through the five-fold ministry, but He also says that we
may grow up in all things into him, who is the
head, [even] Christ (15). As we read in Hidden Manna
For the End Times, this five-fold ministry is already likened to different members of the five senses of the head of
the body. Many men who wish to lift themselves up have
stated that they have held all of these offices at one time.
Only Jesus and Jesus manifested in the Man-child company will do this. All of the titles of the five-fold ministry
34
are given to Jesus in the Word, except evangelist, and who

can deny He is the greatest of those?
(Rev.12:5) And she was delivered of a son, a
man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod
of iron: and her child was caught up unto God,
and unto his throne. (6) And the woman fled into
the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared
of God, that there they (the Man-child company) may
nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. The first-fruits Man-child company will be
caught up to the throne of God to minister to the Church in
the wilderness, as the types prove. Enoch, Moses, Aaron,
Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Samuel, Gideon, David, Elijah,
Ezekiel, Paul and John are all major types of the Man-child
ministry. The Man-child is both the earthly head and a
member of the body of the Bride, who is also led up to the
throne under the Man-child. Major Bride types include Esther, the Psalm 45 bride and the Shulamite in the Song of
Solomon. Since history always repeats, this will be the experience of the end-time Man-child and Bride. (Ecc.1:9)
That which hath been is that which shall be; and
that which hath been done is that which shall be
done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
David the Shepherd was anointed with the Holy Spirit
to sit as King over Israel (1 Samuel 16:13), a type for Jesus
and, lastly, Jesus in the Man-child. (Luk.1:32) He shall
be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most
High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the
throne of his father David. What many do not know is
that Davids throne was the throne of God that Jesus, and
now Jesus in the Man-child, are caught up to. (2Ch.9:8)
Blessed be the Lord thy God, who delighted in
35
thee, to set thee on his throne, to be king for the

Lord thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king
over them, to do justice and righteousness. Notice
that the throne of God was for the purpose of ruling over
His people on earth, just as David and Jesus did.
Since Jesus said that overcomers would sit down with
Him in His throne, He will need a big one. In the end-time,
this throne will be enlarged to include all of the New Jerusalem, which John called the Bride, with the Man-child in
her midst, as Davids throne was in the midst of Jerusalem.
(Jer.3:17) At that time they shall call Jerusalem
the throne of the Lord; and all the nations (Hebrew:
Gentiles; i.e. the Church) shall be gathered unto it,
to the name (Hebrew: nature, character and authority) of the Lord, to Jerusalem: neither shall they
walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil
heart. We will see later that this New Jerusalem Bride is
on earth, born from above in spirit and soul, and soon to
come down visibly in her new body at the end. While the
Man-child is always typed as a man in Scripture, the Bride
is typed as both men and women, as Jerusalem is. The
Bride will enter into the nature, character and authority of
Jesus to a greater degree than the rest of the Church. Those
separating from the apostate people of God and submitting to the Man-childs leadership first were typed as the
Bride by John the Baptist: (Joh.3:29) He that hath the
bride is the bridegroom.
Jesus, the Bridegroom, through the Davidic end-time
Man-child, will celebrate the Marriage Feast with the Bride
on earth for the last seven years. (Isa.62:5) For as a
young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons
36
marry thee; and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over

the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. This
was spoken to Zion, the New Jerusalem Bride. According
to type, after the seven day-years of the Marriage Feast, as
they sit on thrones and watch the festivities, on the eighth
day-year, they go to the Bridegrooms home in heaven, escorted by the Virgins and those invited.
The story of Esther is a prophecy of the end-time Bride
being caught up to the throne under the authority and training of Mordecai, the Man-child and head of the people of
God. Like Joseph, he was second only to the King of kings,
who was typed by Ahasuerus. He was in the place of the
throne before Esther. (Est.2:5) There was a certain
Jew in Shushan the palace, whose name was Mordecai. The King represents Jesus and the Kings gate the
place of government. Mordecai nourishes the Bride with
the beauty and wisdom of the Word until she comes to the
throne herself. (7) And he brought up (Hebrew: nourished) Hadassah, that is, Esther. Esther the Bride
interceded to save her people from Haman, who represents
the Beast. Gods people learn from Mordecai the power of
the Word to defend them.
All believers are the offspring of Abraham because they
walk in his steps through their faith, but some are also
spiritually the offspring of David because they walk in his
steps. David came from Jesse and ruled over the Jerusalem Bride. (Isa.11:1) And there shall come forth a
shoot out of the stock (Hebrew: stump) of Jesse,
and a branch out of his roots shall bear fruit. Jesus is called the root of Jesse in verse 10 and He said we
were the branches. (Joh.15:5) I am the vine, ye are
the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,
37
the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye

can do nothing. The Man-child first-fruits is the branch
that abides in Christ by walking in His steps, as stated in
Isaiah 11:2-5, and Whosoever abideth in him sinneth
not (1Jn.3:6). The Branch is an end-time corporate body
by the name of the Lord our righteousness. (Jer.23:5)
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will
raise unto David a righteous Branch, and he shall
reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute
justice and righteousness in the land. (6) In his
days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell
safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be
called: the Lord our righteousness. Notice that our
identifies a corporate name for the Branch of David. This
corporate body David will rule in our time. The same body
in Jeremiah 33:16 is also called the Lord our righteousness, but is referred to in the original Hebrew as a she,
identifying a corporate body, head of the Bride.
This corporate body of Davids will clearly rule in the
end-time, as the Man-child born to the Woman in travail at
the time of Jacobs trouble, or the tribulation. (Jer.30:6)
Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail
with child (Jesus in the Man-child): wherefore do I
see every man with his hands on his loins, as a
woman in travail (the Man-child born to the Woman
in Revelation 12:2,5), and all faces are turned into
paleness? (7) Alas! for that day is great, so that
none is like it: it is even the time of Jacobs trouble
(the Tribulation); but he shall be saved out of it.
(9) but they shall serve the Lord their God, and
David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
This prophecy of the coming corporate David was written
38
almost 440 years after Davids time, so it has nothing to do

with him physically. We see here that the corporate David
will rule when Jacob is saved in the Tribulation and all nations are destroyed. (11) For I am with thee, saith the
Lord, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all
the nations whither I have scattered thee.
As Mordecai ruled the Bride, so this spiritual David will
rule in the midst of the spiritual New Jerusalem Bride who
is on the earth now and being born again from heaven in
spirit and soul. This is identified as the Philadelphia Church
Bride, which cometh down out of heaven. (Rev.3:12)
He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in
the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence
no more: and I will write upon him the name of
my God, and the name of the city of my God, the
new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven
from my God, and mine own new name. (Joh.6:33)
For the bread of God is that which cometh down
out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Notice that both the new Jerusalem and the bread of God,
in present tense, cometh down out of heaven. (51) I am
the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for
ever. (Joh.3:3) ... Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except one be born anew (Greek: from above), he
cannot see the kingdom of God. This new birth is invisible to the creation, as long as it is only in spirit and soul,
but at the time when the Bride is returning to earth in their
born-again body, they are seen by man as the New Jerusalem Bride coming down out of heaven. (Rev.21:9) And
there came one of the seven angels and he spake
with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the
39
bride, the wife of the Lamb. (10) And he showed

me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out
of heaven from God. (Rom.8:19) The creation
waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. The
full revealing of the sons of God is at the redemption of
our body (23). As we saw in Hidden Manna for the End
Times, being born again in spirit, soul and body are three
throne experiences.
Abiding in the fullness of the name of Jesus is to abide
in the safety of the walls of the New Jerusalem Bride.
(Jer.3:17) At that time they shall call Jerusalem
the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall
be gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem. (Pro.18:10) The name of the Lord is a
strong tower; The righteous runneth into it, and
is safe. Saints are not flying away from tribulation, but
escaping the trials because they are matured and perfected
through their own wilderness throne experiences, exercising dominion over the curse. (Luk.21:36) But watch ye
at every season, making supplication, that ye may
prevail to escape all these things that shall come
to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. We see
the Man-child standing before the Son of man because they
have His name. (Rev.14:1) And I saw, and behold,
the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with
him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written
on their foreheads.
Others, like the Bride, who are not among this firstfruits Man-child, will reach this tower of safety as they are
instructed by them and learn to abide in the throne of the
authority of the name of Jesus. (Mic.4:8) And thou, O
40
tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion,

unto thee shall it come, yea, the former dominion
shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. Daughter of Zion, or Jerusalem, means New Zion,
or Jerusalem. Apostate Christianity is being put on their
cross by the Beast and a new tower of the flock is being
built in the lives of the New Jerusalem Bride. The towers
of religious Babel will be burned by the Beast, as the Harlot was in Revelation 17. (Jdg.9:46) And when all the
men of the tower of Shechem (the harlot tower of babel) heard thereof, they entered into the stronghold of the house of Elberith. (47) And it was told
Abimelech (a type of the Beast) that all the men of the
tower of Shechem were gathered together. (49)
Abimelech, and put them to the stronghold, and
set the stronghold on fire upon them; so that all
the men of the tower of Shechem died.
Just as the Assyrian Beast died trying to take the tower
of the flock of Zion and Haman died trying to take the life of
Esther and her people, so it will be in these end times. (50)
Then went Abimelech (a type of the Beast) to Thebez
(Hebrew: whiteness; i.e. holiness, a type of New Zion),
and encamped against Thebez, and took it. (51)
But there was a strong tower within the city, and
thither fled all the men and women, and all they of
the city, and shut themselves in, and gat them up
to the roof of the tower. At this time we must flee to our
true place of complete safety and dominion in the throne
at the top of the tower of the flock. (52) And Abimelech
came unto the tower, and fought against it, and
drew near unto the door of the tower to burn it
with fire. (53) And a certain woman cast an upper
41
millstone upon Abimelechs head, and brake his

skull.
Each believer must tear down the old tower of the soulish self-life of Babylonish religion and physical protections,
none of which can save or deliver, and begin to build the
Godly life of the spirit. (Luk.14:26) If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and
mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and
sisters, yea, and his own life (Greek: psuche, soul)
also, he cannot be my disciple. (Luk.14:27) Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after
me, cannot be my disciple. (28) For which of you,
desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down
and count the cost, whether he have [wherewith]
to complete it? The cost to build the tower of the flock in
ones life is to lose our self-life. (29) Lest haply, when
he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him, (30) saying, This man began to build, and was not able to
finish. (31) Or what king, as he goeth to encounter
another king in war, will not sit down first and
take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand
to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? (32) Or else, while the other is yet
a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and
asketh conditions of peace. (33) So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he
hath, he cannot be my disciple. For those true disciples who wish to build the tower to escape the Beast, making peace with him cannot be an option.
By Fathers grace, Jesus will, through the Word, be
manifested in the Man-child body who will renounce all to
42
be disciples of Christ. This is a journey to build the spiritual tower of the New Jerusalem in their life and that of the
Bride. Jesus led His sheep out of Babylonish sheepfolds so
that, unhindered by traditions, they could run to the tower. (Heb.12:22) But ye are come unto mount Zion,
and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly
Jerusalem. Power will once again be given to those
who believe the promises and cease from their own works
to go to the City of God in spirit. This Man-child company
is not only a great King in type, but also a great Prophet
like Moses. At the falling away, He will lead the end-time
Church to be cleansed of those who are worldly because
many of Gods people will hate the crucifying words of the
Man-childs living oracles. Instead, they will turn back to
worldly ways and worship the image of a false Jesus of their
own making.
The mystery spoken of by Paul as Christ in you, the
hope of glory (Col.1:27) is to be revealed in the time of
the end, where we are now in history. The Lord is bringing many to the end of themselves and raising up a new
leadership for His people, a company of Davids to take the
place of the Sauls who lead the Church into apostasy and
worldliness.
May the Holy Spirit guide each of you to your own throne
experiences. May we be anointed in our own personal wilderness through a mountaintop encounter with the Living
God. May we be filled with the nature, character and authority of Jesus Christ that will empower us to bring the
rest of the Body of Christ to the submission that leads to
deliverance, healing, sanctification, provision, revival and
safety in the Tower of the Flock.
I pray this has given you a foundation to understand the
43
following study transcribed and edited from the Man-child

and Bride TV series. I pray this book will prepare you to
make your journey to the tower and throne of Gods holiness and authority. (Rev.3:21) He that overcometh, I
will give to him to sit down with me in my throne,
as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father
in his throne. Of course, no one will ever sit on the throne
but Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col.1:27). The
flesh He uses is relatively unimportant.
CHAPTER FOUR
The Brides Head
There are quite a number of chapters in Jeremiah that
speak about Gods people being in captivity to Babylon,
and then there are a few that speak about the deliverance
from Babylon and the restoration of Gods people. All the
way through chapter 29 in verse 30, its still speaking in the
text of the deliverance from captivity. Israel had to come
out of captivity to Babylon and the other Beast kingdoms
that conquered her because of her apostasy. Its funny that,
when God is speaking about this historic happening, every
once in a while He pops something in there that you know
is jumping thousands of years down the road into our time.
Then He seems to jump back and again speak about the
historical events there.
In this text He does the same thing. While speaking in the
text concerning the deliverance from captivity to Babylon,
He begins to speak about our time. One reason God does
that is to give us an understanding that what Hes speaking
about, even in an historic setting, is actually our time,
because these things happened unto them (the Jews)
by way of example; and they were written for our
admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are
come(1Co.10:11). What God spoke about them, He was
speaking about us. When He spoke to them in the letter, He
was speaking about us in the Spirit. So thats what I want
you to remember as we read through Jeremiah, because
He jumps, on quite a few occasions, into the present time
in this text. And really, when we understand that were all
coming out of Babylon, that all of Gods people have been
The Brides Head
45
taken into bondage because of their sins and were all on

our way back to the Promised Land, then it makes a lot
more sense.
Birth Pangs in the Time of Trouble
In some places, its really easy to understand the meaning: (Jer.30:3) For, lo, the days come, saith the
Lord, that I will turn again the captivity of my
people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord; and I
will cause them to return to the land that I gave
to their fathers, and they shall possess it. We know
at least one literal meaning here is, of course, when Israel
returned to their land after so many years and became a
nation in 1948. There is also the spiritual meaning of us
returning to our Promised Land, living upon the promises
of God. (4) And these are the words that the Lord
spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
(5) For thus saith the Lord: We have heard a voice
of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. (6) Ask ye
now, and see whether a man doth travail with
child. We know that this is spiritual because nobody has
ever known a man to bear a child. The man Hes talking
about here is the Man-child.
The man whos in travail with the child is in travail with
the Christ child because, obviously, Jesus said that if we
would do the will of His Father, then we were His mother and His brethren. (6) Wherefore do I see every
man (that is, the members of the body of this corporate
man) with his hands on his loins, as a woman in
travail? We know that in Revelation 12, the Woman,
being the Church, is in travail with the Man-child, and the
46
Man-child is the one who is bringing forth the life of Christ

in him. So this text is clearly talking about that corporate
Man-child in the end-time.
One thing that I want to share with you is the difference between the Man-child and the Bride. (Jer.31:22)
How long wilt thou go hither and thither, O thou
backsliding daughter? for the Lord hath created a
new thing in the earth: a woman shall encompass
a man. Of course, the man is the Man-child because
that was so true, even in the natural. David represented
the Man-child in his time and he was encompassed by a
woman, which was Jerusalem, and then a second woman,
which was Israel-at-large. One of them the Bible calls the
bride and the other one, I would say, incorporates the
whole church. So at least we know that a man is encompassed by a woman.
What were seeing here is this Woman in travail bringing forth that Man-child in whom lives the Christ child. Its
pretty neat, the way the Lord refers to things. (Jer.30:6)
And all faces are turned into paleness? (7) Alas!
for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is
even the time of Jacobs trouble. We recognize that
is a time of great tribulation, Jacobs trouble, a time of the
end-time, so weve jumped from what looks like an historic
setting in the time of Babylon all the way into our time because theyre parallel. (Ecc.1:9) That which hath been
is that which shall be; and that which hath been
done is that which shall be done: and there is no
new thing under the sun.
The historic things are parables concerning what is happening now. Were talking about a time of Jacobs trouble.
Jacob was the carnal name for Israel and he represented
The Brides Head
47
the carnal man in Israel. (Jer.30:7) Alas! for that day

is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time
of Jacobs trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
Now we know that in this time of great trouble, those who
are truly belonging to Israel will be saved out of it. But there
is also going to be a great falling away (2 Thessalonians
2:3). (8) And it shall come to pass in that day saith
the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from
off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds; and strangers shall no more make him their bondman. In the
natural, the people of the world and many Christians are
still in bondage to the old man, to the beast, so to speak.
God says that Hes going to set His people free.
Is that going to happen to Israel? The Bible tells us, And
Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of
the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is
the remnant that shall be saved (Rom.9:27). But it
also tells us that all Israel shall be saved (Rom.11:26).
That, however, is used in the text where Paul is speaking
about the grafting into the olive tree of the Gentile church
and the end-time remnant of Israel being grafted back into
their own olive tree.
Jeremiah goes on: (Jer.30:9) But they shall serve
the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I
will raise up unto them. Isnt that interesting? Im sure
that some people think that this is only talking about Jesus,
but its not. Its talking about an end-time David and thats
the time that Hes speaking about here: the time of Jacobs
trouble and the time when the Woman is in travail with
the Man-child. Its that time that God says Hes going to
raise up a David unto them. (10) Therefore fear thou
not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord; neither
48
be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from

afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and
at ease, and none shall make him afraid. (11) For
I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: for I
will make a full end of all the nations whither I
have scattered thee. Well, thats never happened, has
it? The nations are going to be in a great civil war that is going to destroy them. Those nations, as a nation, will never
rise up again. Thats an end-time event, though.
When we skip down just a few verses, we find this:
(21) And their prince shall be of themselves, and
their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them.
Sounds like Jesus, doesnt it? Well, Jesus came to sit upon
the throne of David almost 2000 years ago, but Jesus also
said that He was coming again, in John 16, as a man-child
born to a woman. And in Revelation 12 we see that prophesied again for 2000 years later. So, here we have a text
that is speaking about the end-time. He said, Their ruler
shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will
cause him to draw near. Notice, this is grace, folks.
This is not great men. This is Gods grace working in men.
(Joh.6:44) No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him.
The Father is drawing this leadership close to Him. Its
by grace, not by mans works. (Jer.30:21) And I will
cause him to draw near, and he shall approach
unto me: for who is he that hath had boldness to
approach unto me? saith the Lord. (22) And ye
shall be my people, and I will be your God. But then
He goes on to speak about: (23) Behold, the tempest
of the Lord, [even his] wrath, is gone forth, a
The Brides Head
49
sweeping tempest: it shall burst upon the head of

the wicked. (24) The fierce anger of the Lord shall
not return, until he have executed, and till he have
performed the intents of his heart: in the latter
days (again, were speaking about the latter days) ye
shall understand it. (31:1) At that time, saith the
Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel,
and they shall be my people.
Who Is All Israel?
Notice, God says that in the latter days Hes going to
be the God of all the families of Israel and that all Israel shall be saved. How is this going to be accomplished?
(Rom.11:19) Thou wilt say then, Branches were
broken off, that I might be grafted in. (20) Well;
by their unbelief they were broken off (this is
speaking of natural Israel and their own olive tree), and
thou standest by thy faith. Be not high-minded,
but fear: (21) for if God spared not the natural
branches, so neither will He spare thee. (22) Behold then the goodness and the severity of God:
toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee,
Gods goodness, if thou continue in His goodness:
otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. (23) And they
also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be
grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
Yes, there is a remnant of natural Israel that is going to
be grafted back into the olive tree, which He is about to
call all Israel. (24) For if thou wast cut out of that
which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast
grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree;
50
how much more shall these, which are the natural

[branches,] be grafted into their own olive tree?
(25) For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant
of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;
(26) and so all Israel shall be saved. When the last
remnant of natural Israel is grafted in, then all Israel is going to be saved. Meaning what? Everybody in the olive tree
is saved. So he calls the olive tree all Israel, regardless
of whether it is Gentiles or Jews. Thats because we are all
sons of Abraham through faith. Abraham was a father of
many nations (the same word for Gentiles). (26) and
so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written,
There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer.
Wow! In the last days when all the Gentiles are coming
in and the remnant of all Israel is being grafted back in
again, notice what he says: (26) There shall come
out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob (Israel). Of course, we are
spiritual Israel because he is not a Jew who is one
outwardly; neither is that circumcision which
is outward in the flesh: (29) but he is a Jew who
is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the
heart (2:28-29). Thats what the Bible, Gods Word, says.
So were inviting the Jews to come back and be grafted
back into their original olive tree and the only way they
can do that, it says here, is through faith and believing in
the sacrifice of Jesus. Thats the text we are looking at over
here; all the families of Israel are going to be Gods people
in that day.
The Brides Head
51
Gods Promise to His Holy Nation

Now I want to share something with you. Once again,
in chapter 31, in the text where Jeremiah is speaking about
Gods people being delivered from bondage and so on, he
begins to jump into our day, speaking about a covenant.
(Jer.31:31) Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
that I will make a new covenant with the house
of Israel, and with the house of Judah: (32) not
according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day that I took them by the hand
to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my
covenant they brake, although I was a husband
unto them, saith the Lord. (33) But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my law in
their inward parts, and in their heart will I write
it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my
people. This is quoted in Hebrews chapter 8, referring to
the New Covenant.
So now were 2000 years before the end-time, when the
New Covenant began. (34) And they shall teach no
more every man his neighbor, and every man his
brother, saying, Know the Lord; for they shall all
know me, from the least of them unto the greatest
of them (this, too, is quoted in the New Testament concerning the New Covenant), saith the Lord: for I will
forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more. Notice the very next verse: (35) Thus
saith the Lord, who giveth the sun for a light by
day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the
stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea,
52
so that the waves thereof roar; the Lord of hosts

is his name: (36) If these ordinances depart from
before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel
also shall cease from being a nation before me for
ever. Hes saying that if day and night ever stop, then Israel will cease from being a nation.
Wait a minute. Didnt Israel cease from being a nation
back around 70 A.D. when the Romans came through there
and tore down their city, burned their temple and scattered
them throughout the nations? And wasnt their nation restored in 1948? Wasnt there day and night all that time?
Yet look what God is saying here: that as long as there is day
and night, there will be this nation of Israel forever. What
Nation of Israel is He talking about? Because they ceased
from being a nation for almost 2000 years, Hes talking
about a new nation, a different nation of Israel, isnt He?
What happened when the New Covenant came to pass?
He first brought it to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then He brought it to the Gentile Church who, joined with
a remnant of natural Israel, accepted it. They were in the
olive tree together, which is called all Israel. So we see
there is still a nation of Israel. There has been for the last
2000 years, during which time there has been night and
day, night and day. There has been a nation called Israel
not the literal nation, but a spiritual nation called Israel.
The apostle Peter said so, too: (1Pe.2:9) But ye are an
elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a
people for [Gods] own possession, that ye may
show forth the excellencies of him who called you
out of darkness into his marvelous light. He was
talking to the Christians. We need to remember this and
also Romans 11:19-26, where weve just learned that these
The Brides Head
53
two together, the believing Gentiles and Jewish remnant,

make up the nation of all Israel.
Wedding Party in New Jerusalem
If we jump over to Jeremiah 33 (remember the covenant, the ordinance of night and day), God speaks there
concerning the leadership of that nation of Israel. First He
talks about restoring this nation: (Jer.33:9) And [this
city] shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise
and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth,
which shall hear all the good that I do unto them,
and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for
all the peace that I procure unto it. (10) Thus saith
the Lord: Yet again there shall be heard in this
place (Jerusalem), whereof ye say, It is waste, without man and without beast (and when they werent a
nation, either, by the way), even in the cities of Judah,
and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate,
without man and without inhabitant and without
beast, (11) the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of
the bride.
When is the voice of the Bridegroom and the voice of the
Bride going to be in Jerusalem? In these days God is raising
up both the Bridegroom and the Bride. Hes not doing this
in old Jerusalem because its very apostate and very much
turned away from God, the God of the New Testament. Its,
for the most part, doing its own thing and only a very few
from among the Jews are attempting to live under the Old
Testament. So, once again, what city is He referring to? It is
the city that Paul spoke about when he said, ye are come
54
unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living

God, the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb.12:22). We, who
are born again, are joined to the heavenly Jerusalem. In
that city, there is the voice of the Bridegroom and the voice
of the Bride.
David and the Bride
What is the Bride? The Bible tells us in these verses:
(Rev.21:9) And there came one of the seven angels
who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the
seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying,
Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife
of the Lamb. (10) And he carried me away in the
Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed
me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of
heaven from God. Thats the Bride, Jerusalem! And we
find it also in this verse: (2) And I saw the holy city,
new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from
God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. Weve already learned about how Jerusalem is being born from above: first spirit, then soul and then body,
in the body of the Bride. The Bride, of course, is Gods holy
people, but notice, the Bride is Jerusalem. Its not the 12
tribes outside of Jerusalem; its Jerusalem.
There is also a leader over that end-time spiritual Jerusalem, about which we just read: (Jer.30:9) But they
shall serve the Lord their God, and David their
king, whom I will raise up unto them. Some say,
Well, that happened back in the times when Jesus came
to natural Jerusalem. It sure did! Jesus was the Son of David and He came to sit upon Davids throne. That is spoken
The Brides Head
55
of here: (Act.2:29) Brethren, I may say unto you

freely of the patriarch David, that he both died
and was buried, and his tomb is with us unto this
day. (30) Being therefore a prophet, and knowing
that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of
the fruit of his loins he would set [one] upon his
throne; (31) he foreseeing [this] spake of the resurrection of the Christ. David was a prophet and he
referred to the throne of David that One who was born from
his loins would sit upon.
Now think about that. David passed on his lineage, obviously, in the natural way, and the Bible says in Genesis
3:15 that the seed of the woman would bruise the serpents
head. The woman in that case was Mary. In the end-time,
its the woman of Revelation 12. The seed of the woman
was Christ. Jesus was the Son of man and He was the Son
of God. He was the Son of man in that He was born of the
seed of David according to the flesh, (4) who was
declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit (Rom.1:3-4). (Joh.3:6) That
which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit. Jesus flesh came through
Mary and she was of the lineage of David. God can do it because the Bible says He would, that it would be the seed of
the woman who would crush the serpents head. Now, inside the body of the Son of David was the Son of God. Jesus
said that He was Son of man (John 5:27) and Son of God
(verse 25). The spiritual man on the inside was the Son of
God dwelling in a body of the son of David.
This is a spiritual type for our day because this is what
God said He was going to do again in the end-time. Hes
raising up a Son of David. If Jesus was the Son of David in
56
His day, then He would have had to raise up seed through

the generations to our day in order to have another Son
of David, called the Man-child, in whom He could live. So
when David raised up seed originally, it was according to
the flesh because those were the letter people of God. Everything they did was in the letter, in the flesh, but they represented a spiritual people of God in the New Testament.
Well, we know that Jesus didnt have any children, according to the flesh, so when Jesus began to raise up seed, how
did He do it? He raised up seed by the Word of God. That
seed that He sowed (literally, the sperma) was the Word
of God sown into our hearts to bring His fruit, the fruit of
Christ. Since we know that there is always going to be a Son
of David sitting upon his throne, then Jesus was raising up
seed that is a spiritual seed of David. Isnt that interesting? The Man-child that were talking about is a spiritual
seed of David in whom Jesus lives because were speaking
of the manifestation of sonship where Christ is manifested
in His people: (Col.1:27) Christ in you, the hope of
glory.
Remember what John the Baptist said when he saw all
the disciples following Jesus: (Joh.3:29) He that hath
the bride is the bridegroom. Jesus, the Man-child
there, was the Groom and the Bride was those disciples
who were following Him. Praise God! Let me show you the
relationship between the Bride and the Man-child. First of
all, we found that the Bride was Jerusalem and we found
that the Man-child was David. David sits upon his throne
in Jerusalem, therefore, he is a part of the Bride, a member of the body of the Bride. Hes actually the head of the
body of the Bride on earth because hes in Jerusalem, as
the head of Jerusalem, which represents the Bride. Now we
The Brides Head
57
see the relationship between the Man-child and the Bride:

the head of the Bride is the Man-child. Christ, Who was the
Man-child, is the Head of the Church. We know that the
Church is the larger body of all Israel but the Bride was
Jerusalem. Thats why the Bible says, Arise ye, and let
us go up to Zion unto the Lord our God (Jer.31:6).
It represents a place of holiness, of separation from the
world, above the world. Its holy; its beautiful. We see the
relationship with David as the Man-child with the Bride.
We can say that the Bride sits on the throne.
The Bible speaks about both David and the Bride as
caught up to the throne, though were not talking about
a catching away to heaven, as Ill explain. (Jer.3:17) At
that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of
the Lord; and all the nations (Gentiles) shall be
gathered unto it, to the name of the Lord (so the
throne and Jerusalem represent the name, which is the
nature, character and authority thats what the word
name means of the Lord), to Jerusalem: neither
shall they walk any more after the stubbornness
of their evil heart. We notice here that there was a
throne in Jerusalem for the Man-child but there was also a
throne in Jerusalem for the Bride.
Actually, we have a fulfillment of the Marriage Feast,
which well look at in the next chapter. In the Marriage
Feast, during the last seven days before they went to the
grooms home, the bride and groom sat on thrones. Isnt
that interesting? How is the Lord going to sit with the Bride
for seven days before going to the Grooms home? Ill also
share that with you a bit later. First lets study Jeremiah a
little deeper.
58
Perpetual Davidic Dynasty

We see in Jeremiah 33, from verse 14 on down, that
the Branch comes forth. When Jeremiah 23:4-5 speaks
about the new leadership that God was going to raise up,
the new shepherds, the righteous shepherds, he calls them
the Branch in verse five. From there on down, he says the
same thing that he says in chapter 33. So this corporate
body of shepherds is the Branch, which is the Man-child.
(Jer.33:15) In those days, and at that time, will I
cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto
David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. (16) In those days shall Judah be
saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this
is [the name] whereby she (In the original, thats what
it says. Some translators were afraid to translate it that
way, since they knew that David was a he and the branch
was a he, but its a she because its a body of people.)
shall be called: the Lord our righteousness. Its a
corporate name: the Lord our righteousness.
Notice: (17) For thus saith the Lord: David shall
never want a man to sit upon the throne of the
house of Israel. Uh-oh. Now, let me say that for thousands of years now there hasnt been a David sitting upon
the throne. When Jesus came there was no David sitting
upon the throne. What Israel is God talking about when
He promises that they will never want a king to sit upon
the throne? This has to be talking about after the New Covenant, when everything changed. We found out that there
was a nation of Israel after the New Covenant started,
when the old nation of Israel was destroyed at about the
time of the end of the Book of Acts. That nation was gone.
The Brides Head
59
Now read again. (17) For thus saith the Lord: David
shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of
the house of Israel (this has to be the New Testament
House of Israel; Ill show you why); (18) neither shall
the priests the Levites want a man before me to
offer burnt-offerings, and to burn meal-offerings,
and to do sacrifice continually. And, of course, we are
priests unto the Lord. We offer burnt offerings: we present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God as we go through
the fiery trial where the old man is burned up the wood,
hay and stubble of the old man. We have a continual burnt
offering, whereas natural Israel does not have a continual
burnt offering. However, the continual burnt offering is going to be taken away from those who fall away from the
Lord in the days to come (2 Thessalonians 2:3), so watch
for that.
(19) And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying, (20) Thus saith the Lord: If ye can
break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of
the night, so that there shall not be day and night
in their season. Thats the same thing he said a couple
chapters ago and it was after the New Covenant started.
He said that if day and night stopped, there wouldnt be a
nation of Israel. Well, day and night havent stopped and
there has been a nation of Israel since the time of Jesus,
but that nation of Israel didnt start in 1948. It is the nation
of all Israel of Romans 11. Now He says the same thing
about His King David here: (21) Then may also my
covenant be broken with David my servant, that
he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne;
and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
There have been night and day, consecutively, all
60
through the New Testament and when Jesus came there

was a Son of David to rule on the throne. There has been
a Son of David ruling on the throne ever since. Our Lord
Jesus said that, once again, He was going to raise up a David in the end-time, a Man-child, and that He was going to
come as a Man-child born to a woman (John 16). In Revelation 12, we see that promised David ministry being raised
up, we see that Man-child born to a woman (the Church)
to lead the woman into the wilderness. (22) As the host
of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand
of the sea measured; so will I multiply the seed of
David my servant. This all has to have happened in
the New Testament because there is no fulfillment in the
Old Testament of Gods promise that there would always
be a David on the throne. This has to have happened in Jesus day as He sat upon the throne and ruled over spiritual,
born-again Israel. He came to the lost sheep of the house
of Israel and they followed Him. John the Baptist looked
at them and said, Theres the Bride and the Bridegroom
(John 3:29). The Bridegroom was the Man-child.
Notice that in this new Israel, they are going to hear the
voice of the Bridegroom and the voice of the Bride (Jeremiah 33:11). Isnt that interesting? Where is the voice of
the Bridegroom going to be heard? Out of the Man-child.
Remember what Paul said in Romans 11:26, that He was
going to send the Deliverer out of Zion. This was going to
happen when the last of the Gentiles was being brought
into the Kingdom and the remnant of the Jews was being
restored to the same olive tree Kingdom. Were in those
days now, folks. Who is this Deliverer? Well, David delivered Israel from the bondage to the Philistines and the enemies roundabout. Now keep reading. (22) As the host
The Brides Head
61
of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand

of the sea measured; so will I multiply the seed of
David my servant, and the Levites that minister
unto me. He is going to multiply the seed of David, that
is, the corporate body of David, which is the Branch that we
see is the corporate body of the seed of David in verse 15.
Those are the shepherds whom God said He was going to
raise up. In other words, Jesus has ruled upon the throne
of David, but who was David? He was a physical man in
whom the Lord lived. Who was Jesus? Jesus was the Son
of man, the Son of David, in Whom the Spirit of the Son
of God lived. What is this David that Hes multiplying in
these days? Once again, Hes talking about physical men in
whom Jesus lives. Who is it that lives in them? The Bridegroom.
Jesus, as the Man-child, was the Bridegroom.
(Joh.3:29) He that hath the bride is the bridegroom. What type was Jesus fulfilling there? Notice
that the Bride and the Bridegroom were on the earth. And
in our day, the truth is that the Bride and the Bridegroom
are on the earth. Jesus has said that He is going to come
as a baby born to a woman (John 16:21). Hes coming once
again in the seed of David. This time its not sown a natural seed; its sown a spiritual seed because thats how Jesus carried on His lineage by the Word of God. In other
words, this is going to be a corporate body, some people in
whom the Word of God lives. And if the Word of God lives
in them, then Jesus lives in them. They are the Man-child
in whom lives the Bridegroom.
How is it that the Bride and the Groom are going to sit
on their throne, which is spiritual, New Testament Jerusalem, for the last seven days before going to the Grooms
62
home? The seven days are the seven years of the Tribulation; they are the 70th week of Daniel (Daniel 9:27). The
Marriage Feast lasts for those seven days and the Groom
is going to be feasting with the Bride for those seven days.
Once again, the Bride is not all of the 12 tribes, nor all of
the seven women (the seven churches of Revelation). The
Bride is represented by only Jerusalem and David was the
head of Jerusalem, so that makes David the head of the
Bride.
In fact, David was the head over all of the 12 tribes, representing all the Church. We read in Esther, Song of Solomon and Psalm 45 that the Bride was the chosen from
among all the fair virgins. She is a chosen part of the larger
Church and David is the head. He is the head of the Bride,
like Christ is the head of the Bride on earth and the head
of the larger Church company. So, once again, the Lord is
going to rule in an earthly head and over His earthly body.
Hes going to multiply the seed of David in these end-times.
He speaks again in verse 25 about the covenant of day and
night. If it stops, then God is not going to do this, but since
we still have day and night, then He is doing this.
Lets continue to read: (Jer.33:26) Then will I also
cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers
over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I
will cause their captivity to return, and will have
mercy on them. In the time when Joseph was the Manchild, two years into the seven years of famine, Israel came
out of the Promised Land and into Egypt, where Joseph revealed himself to them. He revealed himself to the remnant
of Israel who came into Egypt and he told them that there
were yet five years left of this seven-year famine. That lets
The Brides Head
63
us know that, during the Tribulation, a remnant of Israel is

going to come back and again join in with spiritual Israel in
the olive tree. This is going to start happening, I suppose,
in the second year of the Tribulation.
Remember, Joseph had a dream, about which they
were all very jealous. He told his brothers of the dream
(Genesis 37:9-11) that he had about the sun, the moon and
the 11 stars bowing down unto him. He also told them his
dream (verses 5-8) about the sheaves standing all around
in a circle and all the 11 sheaves bowed down to his sheaf.
They were jealous and angry. Even his father said, Does
that mean youre going to rule over us? Well, it turned out
that Joseph was right. Joseph became their head. God had
spoken to him that he was going to be a ruler over the house
during this seven years of famine. This is going to happen
again. Nobody can take credit for it because it is Christ in
you that is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). The seed
of David, the flesh, doesnt get any credit for what Jesus
Christ on the inside does. Thats true of all of us. This is a
wondrous thing thats about to happen.
A Question of Gender
Ill tell you one more little secret here: throughout Scripture the Man-child is likened unto a man every time. Never
is it likened unto a woman. In the New Testament we are
told that the head of every man is Christ, but the head of
the woman is the man (1 Corinthians 11:3). So were talking
about the Man-child being the head of the Bride because
both dwelt in Jerusalem, which the Bible calls the bride
(Revelation 21:2). The Man-child is the head of the Bride,
but hes a man. In the New Testament the Bible says, But I
64
permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man (1Ti.2:12). And then youll notice that
all of the elders that God chose in the New Testament were
men.
People have asked me this question and Ive always
ducked it for some years, but the truth is that the Manchild is going to be made up of the new leadership, the new
shepherds, and its going to be men. However, the Bride,
who sits on the throne of Jerusalem, was made up of both
men and women. Jerusalem, as the capital city, was where
the leadership over the 12 tribes dwelt and served under
David. The city of Jerusalem was made up of both men and
women.
People have asked me over the years, Are any women
going to be in the Man-child? What about the Bride?
Well, these are the facts, folks. The types and shadows show
us very plainly that the Bride is going to be made up of both
men and women. The Man-child is going to be made up of
men because they are the leadership for the Bride and for
the larger Church of all 12 tribes or, let me say, the seven
churches, according to this New Testament parallel.
The Name of the Born-Again, Holy Bride
What we see is that God is just repeating history.
(Ecc.1:9) That which hath been is that which shall
be. What has been shown to us in the letter through what
happened to David in his kingdom, Joseph in his kingdom,
Moses in his kingdom and Jesus in His all that is happening now in the Spirit. Things happen first in the natural
and then in the spiritual. The Jerusalem that we serve is
The Brides Head
65
the born-again people of God.

The Jerusalem they served represented the natural
man, which had to die and be destroyed and decay before
God raised up born-again Jerusalem. The members of the
Bride were talking about in these days are all born again.
Not only are they born again, but Jerusalem represents
the holy City, whose people are walking in purity before
God and are serving David their king. What David is that?
Its the Lord Jesus Christ manifested in a body. The body
doesnt get the credit, nor does the body have the authority.
Its the Lord Jesus Christ Who is coming to be manifested
in His people. First in the first-fruits: thats the David body,
the Man-child body; then in the larger body of the Bride
and, to some percentage, the rest of the people, which we
call the rest of the Church.
Jesus spoke about that, too. He spoke of the percentages
of 30-, 60- and 100-fold, referring to the fruit of Christ being born from the Word sown in our hearts. He said that
they would bear fruit 30-, 60- and 100-fold (Matthew
13:23). So we see that in these days, God is just going to
fulfill everything Hes spoken in the letter, in the Old Testament, everything that Hes spoken that happened in the
natural at the beginning of our Covenant.
Of course, the Bridegroom was raising up the Bride to
sit on the throne. Jesus gave authority to His Bride. When
He told His disciples that, What things soever ye
shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and
what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven (Mat.18:18), He was giving them the
authority of the throne. Its the same today. Are you walking in the authority of the throne? Remember, Jeremiah
3:17 calls Jerusalem the name of the Lord, meaning the
66
nature, character and authority. In Jerusalem, the people

have the nature, character and authority of the Lord. Thats
what Jerusalem represents. Thats why the Bride was so
beautiful, chosen out of all the fair virgins in the Kingdom.
It is because His name dwells in them; His name is manifested in them.
We are going to be hated of all nations for His names
sake (Matthew 24:9). This is so that His name is manifested in His people, so that they will run to God as a place of
safety, so that they will submit to Him, humbly. Jerusalem
had those broad walls for protection. At the time when the
Beast was attacking the people of God, they ran behind the
broad walls of Jerusalem to protect them from the Beast.
They knew it was a protective place from the Beast kingdom and so it is today. To abide in the secret place of the
Most High (Psalm 91:1), to abide in Christ, is to run behind
the broad walls of New Testament, spiritual Jerusalem.
Read Hebrews 12 and youll find that when the church
was a full-gospel church they came to Jerusalem. When
they were submitted unto their King David, Jesus Christ,
they came to Jerusalem. We need to climb Zion, folks; we
need to enter into the city; we need to be a member of His
Bride or a member of His Man-child. Thats the place of
holiness.
CHAPTER FIVE
New Jerusalem The Restoration of Davids
Throne
We read in the Bible that God always repeats history:
(Ecc.3:15) That which is hath been long ago; and
that which is to be hath long ago been: and God
seeketh again that which is passed away. What
we will study in this chapter is Biblical evidence that God
is bringing again the Kingdom of David. Of course, He
brought it in Jesus time and Hes bringing it again in our
time. Id like to look at a few parallels, so we can learn more
about the Man-child and the Bride.
Untouchable Mountain
We know that when Jesus came, that was the Son of
God coming in the body of a Son of David. As were going
to see, this was in order to manifest through that Son of
David His presence upon the earth and to bring forth the
Covenant. (Act.15:14) Symeon hath rehearsed how
first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them
a people for his name. (15) And to this agree the
words of the prophets; as it is written, (16) After
these things I will return, And I will build again
the tabernacle of David, which is fallen. I will
return is speaking of the Lords return. But also, it says
here, I will build again the tabernacle of David. Why the
tabernacle of David? Why not just the tabernacle that
was used by Israel since the time of Moses? He said that
because He is identifying a restoration of the time of David
68
and, of course, Jesus came as David. I will build again the

tabernacle of David, not the Temple, but the tabernacle.
In the time of David, there was only a tabernacle, which
represents the temporary, mobile dwelling place of these
bodies as a temple for the Lord. He goes on. (16) And I
will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it
up: (17) That the residue of men may seek after the
Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is
called. So this tabernacle of David is for the restoration of
the Gentiles, to bring them into the Kingdom, make them
a temple for God and to restore again the time of David.
Hes restoring everything about the Kingdom concerning
David, which was a type and a shadow of Christs time and
of the end-time. And, as were going to see, not only was
He restoring the tabernacle of David, but He was restoring a city of David. (Heb.12:18) For ye are not come
unto [a mount] that might be touched, and that
burned with fire, and unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest. Hes speaking here about the restoration of Mount Zion. This was in general to the Hebrew
Christians, not just the Hebrews at Mount Zion or in Jerusalem. He tells the Hebrews in that day that he is not talking about a physical Mount Zion in Jerusalem because this
text says, For ye are not come unto a mount that might be
touched. He continues, but ye are come unto mount
Zion (22). So its not a physical mountain that we can
touch; its a spiritual mountain made for a spiritual people.
Were not physical Jews, were spiritual Jews, bornagain Jews. The spiritual man is a Jew, not the carnal man.
We have a King David being raised up over us and thats
the Lord Jesus Christ. So you see that we have come unto
Mount Zion and the sound of a trumpet, and the
New Jerusalem...
69
voice of words; which [voice] they that heard entreated that no word more should be spoken unto
them (19). The Israelites told Moses, Dont let God speak
to us. If He speaks to us, well die. You go up there and
talk to God for us. (Deuteronomy 5:23-25). They wouldnt
touch the mountain. Moses was the one who climbed the
mountain; Moses was the one who received, as the firstfruits, the glory of God. In fact, he came down with the
glory of God all over his face; he shone. Moses even had to
put a veil upon his face in order to deal with the children
of Israel. The veil, the New Testament tells us, is the flesh.
Moses was glorified underneath that veil of flesh.
The Israelites didnt want any more Word to be spoken
to them and they were fearful. (20) For they could not
endure that which was enjoined, If even a beast
touch the mountain, it shall be stoned. Of course,
the beast represents the old man, the carnal life. They knew
that to climb that mountain they would have to lose their old
life to enter into the presence of God because the mountain
represented holiness; it represented death to self, death to
flesh. (22) But ye are come unto mount Zion, and
unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable hosts of angels.
So we see the heavenly Jerusalem is being restored for
the heavenly people, the spiritual Jerusalem for the spiritual people. The spiritual Tabernacle is not a building anymore; it is Gods people, the people who will be traveling
through this coming wilderness. Thats why we need the
Tabernacle, because well be traveling through the wilderness. (23) To the general assembly and church of
the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to
God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men
70
made perfect. Thats what this mountain represents. On

top of Mount Zion is the heavenly Jerusalem. The mountain represents the city in which David was king and in
which the presence of the Lord dwelt.
In the previous chapter we discovered that Jerusalem
itself represents the Bride. John was told, Come up
hither, and I will show thee the things which must
come to pass hereafter (Rev.4:1). He was shown the
heavenly Jerusalem: (Rev.21:2) And I saw the holy
city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her
husband. (9) Come hither, I will show thee the
bride, the wife of the Lamb. (10) And he carried me
away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high,
and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming
down out of heaven from God. It was coming down
out of heaven from God, as it is today.
Heavenly City
As a matter of fact, Revelation chapter three says the
same thing. Thats very important because some people
dont believe that Jerusalem is coming down now. We need
to know that God is rebuilding Jerusalem in spirit, soul
and body because Jerusalem is the Bride and right now
the Bride is upon the earth. (Rev.3:12) He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of
my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I
will write upon him the name of my God, and the
name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem,
which cometh down out of heaven from my God,
and mine own new name. We see the city cometh
New Jerusalem...
71
(present tense). Its coming down out of heaven. Its still

going to be coming at the end, down out of heaven, except
at the end, the Bride will have her new body and shell be
visible to all creation as she is coming down out of heaven
upon the earth.
Right now, the Bride is being born from above, spirit
and soul, but we dont see those things. We see that God is
restoring this Mount Zion, which is the Kingdom of God on
earth. For 2000 years weve been in a falling-away state,
a backslidden state. Gods people were taken captive to
Babylon, to false religion, false ideas. They missed out on
the true Gospel that they need to cause them to walk as
Christ walked in the Kingdom. Right now, once again, just
as in Jesus day, God is restoring the tabernacle of David.
He is restoring the Kingdom of God. He is restoring the
New Jerusalem, which is the Bride, and Hes restoring the
place of David as king.
Seed of the Woman, Son of David
The virgin Mary was prophesied by the angel Gabriel,
Gods chief messenger angel, that she was going to bring
forth the fruit of Jesus. (Luk.1:30) And the angel (Gabriel) said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
found favor with God. (31) And behold, thou shalt
conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and
shalt call his name JESUS. In Revelation 12 were told
the exact same thing. The woman arrayed with the sun
with the 12 stars over her head brings forth the Man-child.
So this a parallel, except in our day were talking about a
corporate birthing of a Man-child because every time history repeats, it repeats with larger groups of people. This
72
individual woman, Mary, brought forth an individual Manchild. The woman in Revelation 12 represents the Church
and she is bringing forth a corporate Man-child. She is corporate and the Man-child is corporate. (32) He shall be
great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High:
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of
his father David. So, once again, we see the restoration
of the kingdom of David, the tabernacle of David, the city
of David, the mountain and now the King.
In the last chapter, we discovered that God was going
to raise up a Man-child, a corporate Man-child of David in
these days and that they were to lead the Bride, to be the
head of the Bride. We know that Jerusalem was the Bride,
according to Revelation. We also know that David dwelt in
Jerusalem and he lived and ruled over the people in Jerusalem, which is, in general, where the leadership of the 12
tribes dwelt. The representation of the leadership of the 12
tribes was there and so was the tribe of Judah. David led
them; he was their head.
There are many similarities between the Man-child
and the Bride, like being caught up to the throne and all
the parallels that theyre all caught up to the throne. But
we also discovered in the last chapter that there are two
thrones. There is a throne of David and there is the throne
of the Bride. (Jer.3:17) At that time they shall call
Jerusalem the throne of the Lord; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the
Lord. Of course, Jerusalem is a lot bigger throne than
the throne of David because were talking about a much
larger group of people. The Bride is not all of the Church.
Weve been lied to about that because in every other place
in the Scriptures the types and shadows prove that this is
New Jerusalem...
73
just not the case.

As we know, Jerusalem wasnt all of Israel. There were
the 12 tribes that were spread throughout the kingdom and
there were the other mountains throughout the kingdom.
These were not all members of the Bride. Obviously, we
have to make room for the bridesmaids, the friends of the
Bridegroom and all the others who join the Marriage Feast.
So we see that the Lord God shall give unto him the
throne of his father David (Luk.1:32). Now wait a
minute Hes the Son of the Most High, but He gives unto
Him the throne of His father David. That means He has
two fathers! We know from John, That which is born of
the flesh is flesh; and that which born of the Spirit
is spirit (Joh.3:6). Jesus was the Son of God in His Spirit
(Romans 1:4) and He was the Son of David according to the
flesh (verse 3). In other words, God used Mary, through the
seed of the woman, to bring forth the Man-child, to bring
forth Christ. So He was truly Son of man and Son of God,
and so it is also in the end-time.
Just as in Jesus day, when God sent the Son of God into
the flesh of a son of David, so it is that God once again is going to send the Son of God to earth to dwell in the flesh of a
son of David. It isnt the flesh that the people can glorify, it
is the Son of God Who dwells inside. He can use any flesh.
Man gets neither the credit nor the glory, but the Son of
God Who is coming into our midst is not only coming into
His Davids, Hes coming in His Bride and Hes coming in
His people everywhere. (Col.1:27) Christ in you, the
hope of glory. The Scripture also tells us to see Him in
the mirror. (2Co.3:18) But we all, with unveiled face
beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are
transformed into the same image from glory to
74
glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. This means,

of course, that as we walk by faith, we believe that weve
received Christ in all of His nature, all of His righteousness
and all of His truth. We believe that there has been a reconciliation, an exchange, as we walk by faith and see Him
in the mirror, reckoning that we dont live anymore, but He
lives in us. Then righteousness is imputed to us and God
brings it to pass.
The firstfruits of these, of Christ coming to be manifested
in His people, is the David ministry, the Man-child ministry. Gabriel goes on to say, and he shall reign over the
house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there
shall be no end (Luk.1:33). When Jesus came in a body
of the son of David, that was the beginning of the time that
Jeremiah 33 speaks about, when David shall never
want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of
Israel (Jer.33:17). That was not fulfilled before Jesus
came along because there were thrones that a seed of David did not sit upon and, even at Jesus time, Israel was
being ruled over by the Roman Empire. But we know that
when Jesus came, from then on forever, He is the One Who
sits upon the throne, the One Who rules over the House of
David. That He ruled in a body of David at that time was
a sign, a symbol, that He is going to rule through a body
of David in our time. He says, And of His Kingdom there
shall be no end. That makes Jesus the One Who is very
important in this.
The Bible says, He that sayeth he abideth in him
ought himself also to walk even as he walked
(1Jn.2:6). How is it that we are members of the body
of Christ? Its when we walk in His steps. The Lord has
shown me in the New Testament that thats exactly the way
New Jerusalem...
75
everybody brings forth their heritage because we can only

abide in Jesus when we walk in His steps. Different people
are called to different ministries in the New Testament and
we are spiritual offspring because we have received their
spiritual seed into our life. So that heritage has been passed
on to us and walking in the steps of Jesus is the only way we
can prove that we are His seed.
Restoring Davids Throne
Now what is the throne of David? Were told more about
the throne, for instance, where the Queen of Sheba visits
the son of David, Solomon, the prince of peace, representing Jesus Christ. Solomon is a symbol here of both Jesus
Christ in His day and Jesus Christ in this day. Hes coming
in both cases as a seed of David, not a physical seed of David in our day, but a spiritual seed of David. The Queen of
Sheba says to Solomon, Blessed be the Lord thy God,
who delighted in thee, to set thee on his throne
(This is speaking about the throne of the Lord. We think
about a throne up in heaven but we see here that God has
a throne on earth.), to be king for the Lord thy God:
because thy God loved Israel, to establish them
for ever, therefore made he thee king over them,
to do justice and righteousness (2Ch.9:8). In other
words, God is going to use vessels down here as His new
leadership for the Church. He is delivering Gods people
from the Saul leadership and He is bringing them this time
to the David leadership.
This is not going to be anybody glorifying flesh here; this
is going to be the Lord, once again, coming in humble flesh
in order to do His work and to be the spiritual leader over
76
His people. When Jesus came to sit upon the throne of David, the people around Him didnt see flesh being glorified
there. Obviously, they expected someone to come as a king
and rule over flesh but they were very mistaken, so they
did not recognize, nor accept, Jesus for Who He was. Once
again, I believe that the Lord is coming in humble means,
not the kind of king that the world would look for.
Notice, to set thee on his throne. That term is also used
here: (Rev.12:5) And she was delivered of a son,
a man child, who is to rule all the nations with
a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto
God, and unto his throne. Well, can we suppose that
the Man-child is not caught away to heaven, as we think of
heaven, but to heavenly places? This Jerusalem that God
has restored, that Paul said the Church had come to, was
heavenly Jerusalem. Its a spiritual place on earth, in a
mountain, a spiritual mountain called the Kingdom of God
on earth. And now we see that the David whom God raised
up, both in Jesus time and in this time, is the one in whom
the Son of God lives. That David is sitting upon Gods
throne on earth. He said, He that overcometh, I will
give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as
I overcame, and sat down with my Father in His
throne (Rev.3:21). Jesus overcame and He sat down on
the throne of God, which, once again, is an earthly place
though a spiritual place. The kingdom of David has been
restored, both in Jesus day and in our day. Of course, Jesus, the Son of God, rules in both bodies of the son of David.
The Bible says that the Lord will shepherd His sheep.
How is He going to do that? He spoke specifically in Ezekiel
34 of David doing it, but at the same time He said that He
would shepherd His sheep. How is He going to do it if
New Jerusalem...
77
David does it? Its very simple: Hes coming in David to

do it. And Hes coming in all of us who love the Lord and
depart from unrighteousness. He is coming in us; Hes
coming in a firstfruits to rule and to reign, to lead Gods
people back to the ways of righteousness, to rebuild the
tabernacle of David and the kingdom of David. The Queen
of Sheba said, to set thee on His throne, to be king for the
Lord thy God. In other words, this Man-child leadership
is coming as the seed of David and its going to be God,
in them, ruling. I previously pointed out, At that time
they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord;
and all the nations (Gentiles) shall be gathered
unto it, to the Name of the Lord, to Jerusalem
(Jer.3:17). Jerusalem represents the Name of the Lord,
which is the nature, character and authority of the Lord.
So, we see a throne within a throne. We see Davids throne
in Jerusalem but we see all of Jerusalem as the throne and
also the Bride. This is what God is restoring. He is restoring
the kingdom of David; Hes restoring the Bride and Hes
restoring the Bridegroom. Yet again the voice of the
bridegroom and the voice of the bride (Jer.33:1011) will be heard in Jerusalem.
Virgin Bride of the Son of David
John the Baptist verified Who Jesus was. (Joh.3:25)
There arose therefore a questioning on the part
of Johns disciples with a Jew about purifying.
(26) And they came unto John, and said to him,
Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond the Jordan,
to whom thou hast borne witness, behold, the
same baptizeth, and all men come to him. (27)
78
John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it have been given him from heaven.
(28) Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I
am not the Christ, but, that I am sent before him.
(29) He that hath the bride is the bridegroom:
but the friend of the bridegroom, that standeth
and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the
bridegrooms voice. Jesus was the first-fruits, but
there was a first-fruits unto Him. The disciples John saw
following Jesus at the time, those first-fruits unto Christ
in those days who followed Him out of apostate Judaism,
those are who the Bride was in that day. He that hath the
bride is the bridegroom. Jesus, Who was the Man-child
born of the virgin, was also David as King and all these
types and shadows are coming together to show us that
He was the Bridegroom. David was the head of Jerusalem
and was the head of the Bride while being a member of the
Bride, as he ruled in Jerusalem, which the Bible says is the
Bride. Here we see Jesus leading His disciples, who were
the Bride that He was raising up and teaching, as the firstfruits and head of that body. He was raising up the firstfruits from out of the apostate denominations of Judaism.
Once again, God is going to raise up a Bride and the Bible
says in Song of Solomon that shes one, shes the choice one
of her mother. He called her there the Shulamite, which
means perfect one. Hes once again raising up a body of
believers that are one, not defiled with all the women that
Revelation 14 speaks about. This body of believers is not
broken up into sects, divisions or strifes, which Paul said
in Galatians chapter five was the work of the flesh. Once
again, God is bringing together a Bride out of the apostate
denominations of Christianity, parallel to those in Jesus
New Jerusalem...
79
day who were coming out of apostate Judaism. God is

doing His awesome work again. Once again, were about to
see the Bridegroom guiding the Bride, raising up the Bride,
being the head of the Bride. Who is that Bridegroom? It
is Jesus Christ, coming to fellowship with His Bride, in
another seed of a son of David, which was what Solomon
represented as the seed of the son of David.
Jesus, the Eternal Son of David
Remember that Jesus, John and Paul all spoke about a
great falling away that would immediately follow those
days in which Jesus raised up the kingdom of David on earth
again (Acts 15). What does a great falling away mean? It
just means that when they were walking in the power of the
Spirit, in the truth of the Son of God, in repentance and all
the things that we call the full Gospel, there very quickly
came a backsliding, a carrying away to Babylon. This is
according to type. All through the Scriptures, when Gods
people backslid, their city Jerusalem was destroyed. This
happened following the Book of Acts, where it talks about
raising up the tabernacle of David. Not very long after that,
in 70 A.D., natural Jerusalem was destroyed. Spiritual Jerusalem was destroyed, too, when they departed from the
spirits of just men made perfect (Heb.12:23), as he
called it. They fell into the Dark Ages and there was a falling away of the power of the truth, a falling away of the
power of the signs and wonders of the full Gospel in the
people who were His Bride.
The people in our day who are members of the body of
the Bride are going to look just like those people who followed Jesus. There wont be any difference. Jesus is com-
80
ing again to restore all things that have been taken from us
over the years. Hes going to restore, once again, the kingdom of David. Hes always been King on the throne over
His true people, but now Hes going to restore the earthly
kingdom of David.
Now lets look at Jeremiah again: (Jer.33:10) Thus
saith the Lord: Yet again there shall be heard in
this place (Hes talking about Zion in Jerusalem), whereof ye say, It is waste, without man and without
beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets
of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and
without inhabitant and without beast. God is going to restore that city. Hes bringing His people back to
this born-again city because the city is the Bride. That city
will be born spirit, soul and body, just like the individuals
who make up the body of that city. Its going to be restored
spirit, soul and, ultimately, body at the end when they see
Jerusalem coming down out of heaven, returning with the
Lord Jesus. We see here in Jeremiah that after a time of
falling away, a time of the destruction of that city, God is
going to restore it. (11) The voice of joy and the voice
of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the
voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give
thanks to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good.
The Lord is very plainly saying that once again in this city,
these things are going to be heard; these things are going
to be seen.
How is it that the voice of the Bridegroom is going to be
heard? The Bridegroom is Jesus Christ, so how is His voice
going to be heard? His voice is going to be heard because
He has come once again in the body of the Son of David.
He has come, once again, in a Man-child, in order to raise
New Jerusalem...
81
up the Bride which is coming out of the denominations,

the sects, the apostate teachings of Babylon. Theyre coming back to Zion. Babylon represented a falling away, an
apostasy. Now theyre returning out of that apostasy to the
true Zion, which is returning to the Word, returning to the
gifts, returning to the Giver and returning to the presence
of God. The presence of God, His Temple, was in Jerusalem; it wasnt in Babylon. And once again, in these days,
this is what God is restoring. Hes given me visions of it
over the years.
Now we see that, once again, the voices of the Bridegroom and Bride will be heard in this city. Not only that,
He also promises us this: (12) Thus saith the Lord of
hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, which
is waste, without man and without beast, and in
all the cities thereof, a habitation of shepherds
causing their flocks to lie down. Once again, were
seeing the parallel, the Bride and the Bridegroom, the shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. Then He goes on to
talk about the restoration of the kingdom of David in our
day. The rest of this chapter is all about the shepherds that
Hes raising up, called the Branch. In Jeremiah 23, theyre
called the New Shepherds that God was going to promote
over His people and theyre called the Branch there, also.
And here in Jeremiah 33, He speaks about the Branch of
David in verse 15. As we saw in the last chapter, the corporate name of this body of the Branch of David was called
The Lord Our Righteousness. Our meaning, of course,
that its a corporate body.
Up until the time that Jesus came, the following verse
was never fulfilled: (17) For thus saith the Lord: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne
82
of the house of Israel. And now there has always been

a David because Jesus, from generation to generation, is
the head over His people. He is the eternal Son of David
and so David shall never lack a man to sit upon the throne
of Israel. As weve seen, thrones can be very corporate in
the end-time. We discovered in Jeremiah 3:17 that all Jerusalem is a throne. Thats a big throne! And when He says,
He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down
with me in my throne (Rev.3:21), what do you think
that means? Some people think, Oh, its just talking about
a throne up there in Heaven somewhere. But no, there is a
very present manifestation of this because the Bride is going to sit down next to the Groom on the throne and Who
is the Groom? The Groom is Jesus Christ manifested in His
sons of David in this day. God is raising up the Kingdom of
David again. Jerusalem, the Tabernacle, the King Hes
raising it all up. Is it a spiritual thing? Yes, of course. Its
not physical because we dont pass on our seed the way
natural Israel did. Our circumcision is of the heart and not
of the flesh, Romans 2:29 tells us. Once again, we see that
David will forever rule upon his throne. It doesnt matter
what vessel he rules through.
We learned in the last chapter from verse 20 that, as
long as there is night and day, God is never going to break
His covenant to have a seed of David upon His throne.
(Jer.33:21) Then may also my covenant be broken
with David my servant, that he shall not have a son
to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the
priests, my ministers. (22) As the host of heaven
cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea
measured; so will I multiply the seed of David my
servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
New Jerusalem...
83
Hes going to multiply the seed of David to sit upon the

throne, to be new leadership and a head to the Bride.
Seven-Day Marriage Feast
Esther is a really good example of the Bride, who represents Jerusalem, being used by the Lord to save the rest
of Israel. The capital city of Gods people has always been
Jerusalem, so we see here the same thing. Here is a very
interesting passage about the Jewish marriage feast from
the Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible, under
Marriage (page 97):
Note: My comments are outside the double quotes. Ive
also added some underlining for emphasis.
The bridegroom was the king for a week.
This is talking about the last week, Daniels 70th week,
because the marriage feast was the last seven days before
the bride and groom went to the grooms home. Where is
the Grooms home? Well, its in Heaven. The last seven
days are the most important seven days, or seven years,
as each one of these days in Daniels 70th week represents
a year (Daniel 9:27, a shabua, a seven or week). But the
last seven days are very prominent because the last seven
days that Gods people were in Egypt were called the Feast
of Unleavened Bread. Now, once again, we are coming to a
seven day-year Marriage Feast, which is the last seven days
before going to the Grooms home and the last seven days
of unleavened bread before they leave Egypt, a type of the
world.
During the last seven days, the Jews also celebrated
Succoth, which means tabernacles, so the last seven days
also represent seven days in a temporary tabernacle before
84
tearing it down and going to their permanent home. We

are also going to our permanent home. God has given us a
permanent body. This is just a temporary tabernacle and
well only have it until the end of the seven days. Then God
is going to give us that new tabernacle.
So this last seven days is very important all through the
Scriptures. In fact, all of the feasts have something to do
with the end times.
The bridegroom was the king for a week (the sevenday marriage feast). This time its seven years.
During the whole week, their majesties wore their festal clothes (as they obviously sat upon the throne) and did
not work, and merely looked on at the games, except that
now and then the queen joined in a dance. Accompanied
by his (the bridegroom) friends (John the Baptist called
himself the friend of the Bridegroom and, by the way, the
friends of the Bridegroom are not the Bride) with tambourines and a band, they went to the brides house.
Where is the Brides house? We know that the Grooms
home is in Heaven, so we know that the Brides house is
here on earth. Where is the Bride now? Here on earth. She
is being born from above spirit, then soul and then, ultimately, body, right here on earth. So the wedding party
goes to the Brides house, where the wedding ceremonies
were to start. The ceremonies went on for seven days (or
seven years).
The bride, richly dressed, adorned with jewels, usually
wore a veil which she took off only in the bridal chamber.
The veil represents several things: In 1 Corinthians 11, the
veil represents a womans submission to her husband, but
a veil also represents not being able to see this husband
clearly until a certain time. Isnt that something? In other
New Jerusalem...
85
words, theyre going to the grooms home and at the very

end she is able to see clearly, without a veil, what the groom
looks like.
Escorted by her companions, the virgins, (The virgins
are not the Bride, but the virgins have a part in the ceremony at the end.) they take their lamps at night, usually very
late at night, (like the parable in Matthew 25 says) and
they escort the bride and the bridegroom to the grooms
home. Thats their part in the marriage ceremony. The
home is obviously in Heaven.
Let me explain here that the bride, during the time of the
marriage feast, is betrothed to the husband. She has all the
rights of a wife, except she has no personal contact with the
groom. The Bride, during the seven days of the Marriage
Feast, is a story of the Book of Esther. The Book of Esther
is all about her exercising her authority over the Beast and
over the people of God to deliver them, in a time when the
Beast was seeking to wipe out the people of God. That is
an awesome story that well study in the next few chapters.
But the Bride has all the rights of a wife who is the queen
and who is under the authority of the Groom. And she will
exercise her authority the same way Esther exercised her
authority to save the people of God. Mordecai said to her,
Who knoweth whether thou art not come to the
kingdom for such a time as this? (Est.4:14). What
time was that? It was the time to save the people of God
from the Beast. We have a surprising thing thats about
to happen. Purim is a celebration of events being turned
around. The Beast, Haman, was going to destroy all the
people of God and he had raised up all of his kingdom to
do this, yet the authority was given through Esther the
Bride to all of the people of God to make a stand for their
86
life. Many of the people of the kingdom under Ahasuerus

became Jews because the fear of the Jews had fallen upon
them. Were talking about a great revival of people coming
out of the world and becoming members of the body of
Christ, becoming Gods people. The whole story is in the
Book of Esther, from beginning to end, of a great revival
and a saving of Gods people.
Tribulation Salvation
We have the idea of nothing but a massacre during the
Tribulation. Yes, there will be a massacre of a lot of people
who are tares among the wheat and goats among the sheep,
but of the true people of God, the ones who are actually
spiritual Jews, were going to see Gods salvation manifested in many powerful ways. He will deliver His people in a
time much like when Moses came to deliver Gods people
out of Egypt with great manifestations of Gods power. Moses represented the Man-child in his time, Jesus and David in their times, and Joseph in his time, so we see that
more than one Man-child has been manifested to bring the
knowledge of Gods salvation.
When Jesus led the Bride (he that hath the bride is the
bridegroom), He led them into the knowledge of God, for
instance, such as the knowledge of provision in the wilderness. When Jesus multiplied the fishes and the loaves, it
was because He led the Bride into the wilderness, like Moses led Israel into the wilderness and there they received
the supernatural provision of God. There is nothing to fear
about these days to come. The Lord is sending a leadership; Hes sending the power to multiply the fishes and the
loaves, for manna to come out of Heaven. Jesus said that
New Jerusalem...
87
He was that provision from God; He was the manna (which,

actually, is translated man in one place in the Old Testament). He was the Man Who came out of Heaven, Who
gives life to the world. Moses was a provision in his day.
Dont worry about the time to come. Put your faith totally in the Lord because the Lord is raising up a provision
and the Man-child is the beginning of that provision that
is going to be passed on to the Bride. The authority of the
Bride, which is a much larger group of people, is going to
be felt throughout the world. The fear of the world, as they
see Gods provision and His angels round about His people,
His protection, will come upon them so that many of the
people of the world are going to want to become Jews;
theyre going to want to become Christians in the coming
days. We have a great revival coming, folks, and things are
going to be turned around.
Many have thought that the only thing were going to
see is a massacre, but I have news for you: the Feast of Purim is going to be fulfilled, the great celebration of the salvation of Gods people from the Beast. Thats what Purim
is all about. Read it it was a great surprise. Many people
read that and they wonder, How does this fit with all the
terrible things Ive heard about the times to come? Well,
we need to put our faith in the living God. If you dont have
faith in God, the devil will take advantage of you. He will
be able to conquer you. If you believe what the devil says,
what your carnal mind speaks to you constantly, he is able
to take advantage of that. You are giving him permission to
rule over you. What we have to have is a renewed mind. We
have to take up the shield of faith to quench the fiery darts
and the destruction that is coming.
CHAPTER SIX
A Great Falling Away
Weve been studying the relationship of the Man-child
to the Bride and what it takes to be in either of those
companies. As we learned before, we understand that the
Man-child is actually part of the larger Bride body because
Jerusalem is the Bride, according to Revelation. David, for
instance, was the Man-child who ruled in Jerusalem, so we
see that David was a part of the larger Bride body. In fact,
he was the head of the body.
Hidden Prophecy
Well see that relationship again in the Book of Esther,
but first Id like to look at something very important.
The name Esther actually means hidden or secret
in Hebrew because God has hidden wonderful things
here about the end-time. The Book of Esther is a double
prophecy of the Church Age and the reason its a double
prophecy is that its fulfilled twice, as were going to see.
It begins in the Church Age with the coming of Jesus and
His preaching to Israel. The second time its fulfilled is in
the coming of the Man-child because, That which hath
been is that which shall be; and that which hath
been done is that which shall be done: and there is
no new thing under the sun (Ecc.1:9). Were going to
see a parallel in history, as we continue.
89
The Kings Seven-Day Feast

Lets look carefully at this. Ahasuerus, who was the king
at this time of the Persian Empire, was used by God as a type
of God Himself. As a matter of fact, he was the king of kings.
He was the head over all of them. (Est.1:1) Now it came
to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India even unto Ethiopia,
over a hundred and seven and twenty provinces),
(2) that in those days, when the king Ahasuerus
sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in
Shushan the palace, (3) in the third year of his
reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his
servants. Notice that its in the third year of his reign.
Numbers always mean something in the Scriptures. In Jesus day there was a fulfillment of this, but theres an even
greater fulfillment coming. Usually, the last fulfillment of
a prophecy is the greatest, most complete, fulfillment. In
other words, more of it will be incorporated into the text.
We see in the text, in the third year. Well, I believe that
weve come to the third year, or the start of the third millennium, of the reign of Jesus over the Church.
The Lord obviously abbreviates things many times in
the Scriptures and, as we go on, were going to see this
more and more. (5) And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast unto all the people
that were present in Shushan the palace, both
great and small, seven days, in the court of the
garden of the kings palace. Now weve talked about
a seven-day feast, which is the last seven years of this age,
or Daniels seventieth week, and weve seen that the marriage feast is the last seven days before the bride goes to the
90
grooms home. Weve seen, for instance, that the Feast of

Unleavened Bread was the last seven days that Gods people were leaving Egypt. After seven days, they left Egypt, a
type of the world. And we see that the Feast of Tabernacles
is when Israel went to Succoth before leaving Egypt and
the last seven days before discarding their temporary tabernacles, which represent this body, and going to their permanent tabernacles, which represents our new body.
So once again, we see that those last seven days are very
important. Here we see that Ahasuerus was having a feast
for seven days. When we look at the types and shadows,
well look at some in the New Testament that show us that
Hes talking about the Marriage Feast of the Church here in
Esther. There is no doubt that the seven days mentioned is
definitely referring to the Jewish feasts.
Partaking of the Feast
(7) And they gave them drink in vessels of gold
(the vessels being diverse one from another). I
believe the vessels of gold here, and what is being poured
out in the feast, can be seen as a type of when Jesus comes
to share the feast with the Bride. John the Baptist said, He
that hath the bride is the bridegroom (Joh.3:29).
Jesus was leading the Bride in His day exactly the way its
going to happen in our day. He was leading the Bride and
sharing a feast the whole time. He told them, Except ye
eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood,
ye have not life in yourselves (Joh.6:53). He Himself was the Word made flesh so what was His body? It
was the Word of God.
We need to eat the Word of God; we need to consume
91
the Word of God, so that His life is in us. And His blood?
(Lev.17:11) For the life of the flesh is in the blood.
Were talking about the life of the Word, represented by
the blood of the Lamb. Were basically of His blood now.
Were not of our old, natural creation blood thats passed
on to us from our parents, in which was all the sin and corruption. We have new blood now. Its the life in the blood
of the Lamb. So its not only just the letter of the Word, its
the life of the Word that we need to consume. We see He
was sharing a feast with the Bride and we call it the Bread
and the Wine, the Lords Supper. Once again, thats exactly
whats going to happen in our day through the Man-child
ministry; there will be a feast for Gods people.
Well, in Persia they were drinking this wine called the
Royal Wine: (Est.1:7) And they gave them drink in
vessels of gold (the vessels being diverse one from
another), and royal wine in abundance, according
to the bounty of the king. The wine represents the
Blood of Jesus, the royal blood, and they were partaking of
this in Jesus day from Him. He was the golden vessel. In
our day, there are going to be many golden vessels gold
being the highest quality and the highest-value vessel in
which Gods life will be poured out to the people. (8) And
the drinking was according to the law; none could
compel: for so the king had appointed to all the
officers of his house, that they should do according
to every mans pleasure. In this Covenant, God is not
going to compel Hes not going to force anybody, the way
it was in Old Testament law. You do what you want youre
given this gift from God. If you want to do something with
it, you can. You dont have to and many choose not to. They
choose to make excuses and not partake of the body and
92
blood of Christ.
The Queen Refuses the Call
(9) Also Vashti the queen (Vashti means beautiful and, as we read on, were going to find that she was
probably a looker on the outside, but she was a Jezebel on the inside. This is what Gods opinion of her was.)
made a feast for the women in the royal house
which belonged to King Ahasuerus. Notice that she
wasnt partaking of the feast of the King; she was having
her own feast. Thats the way the Church is now and its
the way Israel was when Jesus the Man-child came. They
are partaking of their own feast, not the feast of the King,
not the royal Bread and Wine. (10) On the seventh day,
when the heart of the king was merry. So, Vashti
was having a feast and the King was having a feast on the
seventh day. This is where we are in history: weve come
to the seventh day. Peter said, But forget not this one
thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a
thousand years, and a thousand years as one day
(2Pe.3:8). Here weve come to the morning of the seventh
day.
There are two fulfillments here of Esther and Vashti.
One was in Jesus day and one is in our day. God is rejecting one bride and taking another bride. Were going to see
that. (Est.1:10) On the seventh day, when the heart
of the king was merry with wine, he commanded
Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains
that ministered in the presence of Ahasuerus the
king, (I believe that these chamberlains represent the sev-
93
en Spirits of God that we read of in Revelation 1:4. There

may be other interpretations, but they live in the presence
of the King, our King, the King of kings.) (11) to bring
Vashti the queen before the king with the crown
royal, to show the peoples and the princes her
beauty; for she was fair to look on. (12) But the
queen Vashti refused to come at the kings commandment by the chamberlains: therefore was
the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
We have a queen here who refused to come at the beckoning of the King. Sound familiar? Yes, we know that it has
already happened in the New Testament. The Lord Jesus
went forth to call a bride out of natural Israel and that bride
refused to come.
Well look at the parables here presently, but lets continue. (13) Then the king said to the wise men, who
knew the times, (for so was the kings manner toward all that knew law and judgment; (14) and
the next unto him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who
saw the kings face, and sat first in the kingdom)
(I dont know exactly who these could be, but we know that
there are seven angels and seven messengers of the Church.
There were the seven Spirits of God and the seven angels
of Revelation 1:14, which were the seven messengers that
were sent forth to the seven churches. Thats one possibility.), (15) What shall we do unto the queen Vashti
according to law, because she hath not done the
bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains? (16) And Memucan answered before the
king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not
94
done wrong to the king only, but also to all the

princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the
provinces of the king Ahasuerus. Israel, as it was in
Jesus day and the Church, as it has been for the coming
Man-child ministry, has brought a lot of reproof against
Christianity in general and has brought a lot of bad opinion against the Lord Himself because they havent really
come and partaken of what was commanded of them. The
Church has been very apostate in a great falling away for
the last 2000 years, just as Israel was in the time when Jesus came to call them to the Kingdom. Jesus was sent first
to the lost sheep of the house of Israel and the Man-child is
also sent first to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, except
this time its to spiritual, New Testament Israel.
So theres a parallel here and both are offering the Kingdom to those people who considered themselves the Kingdom of God. They considered themselves the Bride of the
Lord and, just as in Jesus day, that Bride, the natural Jews,
Israel, was not worthy. They represented Vashti and God
acted to gain a new Bride. He turned away from the Jews
and turned to the Gentiles to gain a new Bride.
In this day, we are also in a time when there is a great
falling away. Many will fight against the coming of the Manchild, exactly as they fought the coming of the Man-child
Jesus. Many religious people will not want to give up their
position of authority and their prestige and their money and
all the things that come with their own kingdom. Theyve
been having their own feast, quite separate from the Kings
feast and, because of the things theyve been feeding upon,
they are not ready to hear the King.
If you remember, the same thing happened in Daniels
day. Daniel and the three Hebrews decided not to defile
95
themselves with the kings dainties his food and his wine
and when it came time for all the nations to bow down to
the image of the beast, the three Hebrews and Daniel didnt
bow down. It appeared that, in Daniel chapter three, all of
the rest of the Jews did. Why? The rest had been partaking
of the food that comes from the Beast and, as you know
from the Book of Revelation, the Beast is in bed with the
Harlot, so they are one. The problem is that the nature of
the Beast is being fed through the Harlot.
So we continue in Esther. (17) For this deed of the
queen will come abroad unto all women, to make
their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it
shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him,
but she came not. I have to say that there is a Jezebel
spirit today, as there was with Vashti, and as there was in
Jesus day. Jezebel was likened in Revelation to the Harlot
who led His people astray and the Jezebel spirit basically
points out the spirit of a woman who would not submit to
her husband, but ruled over her husband. We know that
the Lord is our husband and that we should submit to everything He has given to us everything and not depart
from any of it.
When were called by our husband to come and partake
of the Body and Blood of Christ, I have to say that many
people are turning that down. There is a natural fulfillment
of this: (Eph.5:22) Wives, [be in subjection] unto
your own husbands, as unto the Lord. (23) For
the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also
is the head of the church, [being] himself the saviour of the body. The Lord is not going to change His
mind concerning this, either. Jezebel spirits are not going
96
to be a part of the Bride, just as Vashti was rejected. Jezebel

spirits nowadays (whether its an individual or a corporate
body, it wont make any difference) will not be accepted
in the Bride because theyre not in the chain of command
and authority here. He goes on: (24) But as the church
is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives also [be] to
their husbands in everything. Some of you think that
God might have changed that in our day, but no, He will
not depart from that and we see it in the text, as a matter
of fact. But notice, hes applying the symbolism of the individual husband and wife to Christ and the Church, just
as the Church must be subject to Him in everything and is
commanded to come and partake of the Word of God and
the nature of God. Thats what the Feast is all about. Yet,
just like in the parable of Matthew 22, those invited have all
found other things to do that are more important to them
than partaking of Gods Word, devouring His Word.
We have to let the Word go into us to make us who we
are, letting us have that life and nature. Notice that its
bringing reproach, this Vashti, this Jezebel, who would not
submit to her Lord. (1Co.5:6) Know ye not that a
little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? So the women of the kingdom were going to follow suit. There is a Jezebel spirit that is taking over the Church in these days,
even in born-again people, and the Lord is not going to put
up with it. Hes not going to accept it and theyre not going
to be in the Bride.
We need to devour the body and blood of Christ. That
Body is that Word and we know what the Word says about
this. If you read the New Testament just one time, youll
see what the Word has to say about this. In fact, we have
a teaching thats called, The Word, Women and Authority
97
on our website, UBM1.org. Go read it. Its nothing but Bible

verses and a lot of people have changed their mind when
they saw how far they have been dragged down the road by
this Jezebel spirit thats ruling over the Church.
The Queen Is Rejected
(Est.1:18) And this day will the princesses of
Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of
the queen [say the] like unto all the kings princes.
So [will there arise] much contempt and wrath.
(19) If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment from him, and let it be written
among the laws of the Persians and the Medes,
that it be not altered, that Vashti come no more
before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her
royal estate unto another that is better than she.
Anything that the King decreed could not be altered once
it was written into the law and we have something written
into law by the King of kings and it will not be altered.
He doesnt care for modern Christianity. We are called
to contend earnestly for the faith that was once
for all delivered unto the saints (Jud.3). Anything
else is not acceptable. (1Jn.2:24) If that which ye
heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also
shall abide in the Son, and in the Father. We need to
contend for what was unaltered. Well, to make a long story
short, the king decided that this was a good idea and, as we
know from history, thats exactly what happened in Jesus
day. (Joh.1:11) He came unto his own, and they that
were his own received him not. He desired to lead
forth a Bride out of natural Israel when the overwhelming
98
majority said no. Isnt that interesting? We see in Matthew

22 the same parable. In Matthew 21, there is a parable there,
too. These two parables together point out that Jesus was
calling a Bride out of their midst to partake of the Marriage
Feast and they wouldnt listen.
History Is Repeating
(Mat.21:33) Hear another parable: There was a
man that was a householder, who planted a vineyard (Isaiah 5:7 tells us that the vineyard of the Lord of
hosts is the house of Israel), and set a hedge about it,
and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower,
and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country. (34) And when the season of the
fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive his fruits. (35) And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and
killed another, and stoned another. (36) Again, he
sent other servants more than the first: and they
did unto them in like manner. Nothing has changed;
the same thing is about to happen. The Harlot is going to
use her position with the Beast to persecute and kill the
saints. History just keeps on repeating. (Ecc.1:9) That
which hath been is that which shall be; and that
which hath been done is that which shall be done:
and there is no new thing under the sun. So there
are two fulfillments to this parable and the one in Matthew
22. (Mat.21:37) But afterward he sent unto them
his son, saying, They will reverence my son. (38)
But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said
among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us
99
kill him, and take his inheritance. Youll notice in

this parable that Hes speaking a lot about the leadership
those husbandmen to whom the vineyard had been rented.
(39) And they took him, and cast him forth out of
the vineyard, and killed him. (40) When therefore
the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he
do unto those husbandmen? (41) They say unto
him, He will miserably destroy those miserable
men, and will let out the vineyard unto other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their
seasons. (42) Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never
read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the
corner; This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes? (43) Therefore say I unto you,
The kingdom of God shall be taken away from you
(this is exactly what happened to Vashti), and shall be
given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Now were coming to the point in time where this
is about to be fulfilled again, this time with the apostate
Church instead of apostate Israel. The Lord is going to
come unto His own once more, but not in a form that they
expect. Obviously, Israel didnt expect Jesus to come as a
lowly King ruling over the flesh, over the Beast and over the
curse. They expected a King who would rule the political
kingdom. Its much the same with Christianity, but once
again, God is going to surprise them in the exact same way
He did before. Many are not going to come to Him even
then and many of the rulers of Christianity will stone His
shepherds again, spiritually and physically.

The Lord Chooses a New Bride Again

In Matthew 22, we see those who are invited to the Marriage Feast. Jesus was inviting one and all to come and partake of this feast that He was providing of the body and
the blood of Christ, of the Word and the nature of God.
(Mat.22:1) And Jesus answered and spake again
in parables unto them, saying, (2) The kingdom of
heaven is likened unto a certain king, who made
a marriage feast for his son, (3) and sent forth his
servants to call them that were bidden to the marriage feast: and they would not come. The word
call is used in the same sense as in the verse, For many
are called, but few chosen (14). The word kaleo means
invited. Jesus came to invite first the Jews to come and
partake of His feast. The word for bidden in this verse is
the same word: kaleo. Notice, once again, like Vashti and
Jezebel, they would not submit to their husband and they
were rejected because of this. They did not come.
Even today, people are saying that theyre coming, but
theyre not coming to partake of the most valuable thing
that God has to offer, which is submission to the Word of
God, submission to our King. Were not having our own
feast, were not doing it our way and we dont care what
religion says because thats a Jezebel. (4) Again he sent
forth other servants, saying, Tell them that are
bidden, Behold, I have made ready my dinner; my
oxen and my fatlings are killed (the beast has been
crucified in us), and all things are ready: come to
the marriage feast. (5) But they made light of it,
and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise. Today, many of Gods people
101
dont think its necessary to be a disciple of Jesus Christ,

to study the Master and to walk in His steps, which is to
abide in Him. They are wasting their time with everything
else in the world, the things that are not necessary. (6)
And the rest laid hold on his servants, and treated
them shamefully, and killed them. (7) But the king
was wroth; and he sent his armies, and destroyed
those murderers, and burned their city. Some may
say, Well, that happened in 70 A.D. Yes, that was the first
fulfillment, but now we have another fulfillment coming.
Revelation 17 talks about the Harlot being burned by the
Beast. The Beast in 70 A.D. burned the Harlot in that day.
History just repeats with larger groups of people, so in our
day, also, there is a fulfillment of this parable. In our day,
the Lord is going to come first to the Church because thats
spiritual Israel. When many in the Church decide that
theyve built a better kingdom than their Lord, that they
like theirs better and reject His Kingdom and His Word
and nature for what theyve already built and feel comfortable with, then the Lord is going to turn to a new Bride. He
did it in Jesus day when He turned to the Gentiles as His
Bride and Hes going to do it in our day when He turns to
the Jews.
We need to understand that when the overwhelming
majority of the Church rejects walking in the steps of Jesus,
Hes going to take a remnant out of the Church and bring in
the Jews and join them with that remnant of the Church as
His new Bride. Hes going to reject this reprobate Church.
(8) Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is
ready, but they that were bidden were not worthy.
Doesnt that sound familiar? (Est.1:19) and let the
king give her royal estate unto another that is
102
better than she. (Mat.22:9) Go ye therefore unto

the partings of the highways, and as many as
ye shall find, bid to the marriage feast. (10) And
those servants went out into the highways, and
gathered together all as many as they found, both
bad and good: and the wedding was filled with
guests. (11) But when the king came in to behold
the guests, he saw there a man who had not on
a wedding-garment: (12) and he saith unto him,
Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a
wedding-garment? And he was speechless.
The Brides Wedding Garment
The Bible tells us in Revelation 19:8 that the Bride
had on this glowing, luminous garment, fine linen,
bright [and] pure, which is actually what the Greek word
lampros means, and this garment is called the righteous
acts of the saints. The garment that we put on is walking in
the steps of Jesus, the righteous acts of the saints. Also:
(Rom.13:14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfill] the
lusts [thereof]. As we walk as disciples of Christ, we put
on the acts of Jesus, so to put on our wedding garment is
to walk in obedience. (Mat.22:13) Then the king said
to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and cast
him out into the outer darkness; there shall be the
weeping and the gnashing of teeth. There are some
who will make it to this Feast with the King, but they will
not be putting on their wedding garment and they will not
be prepared to be that spotless and blemishless Bride.
103
Double Prophecy
(14) For many are called, but few chosen. Who
are the chosen people of God? When we look in this text, we
see that Jesus called the natural Jews as His chosen people,
but they didnt come. They were called, or invited, to partake of the benefits of the Kingdom, but they didnt come.
Oh, they were there, but they didnt come. The same is true
of the Church. Although we have this awesome feast here,
we have these husbandmen who are in rebellion and have
taken over the Church, taken the people away from the Son.
They wont bring Him forth the fruits thereof.
And He said, Well, Im going to take it away from them
and Im going to give it to the nation thats going to bring
forth the fruit. Im going to take it away from Vashti and
Im going to give it to Esther. Now in our day, the same
thing is going to happen. Hes going to take it away from
a Vashti, that is, a Jezebel, one who would not submit to
her husband, one who was called to partake, but did not
come. So who were the chosen? In Jesus day, the chosen
people of God were those who came and believed in Jesus
Christ. Since that time, the chosen of God are all born-again
people. The natural Jew is no longer the chosen of God.
A New Leadership for the True Church
Lets go back and look at something in Isaiah: (Isa.50:1)
Thus saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mothers divorcement, wherewith I have put her away?
or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold
you? Behold, for your iniquities were ye sold, and
for your transgressions was your mother put
104
away. (2) Wherefore, when I came, was there no

man? when I called, was there none to answer?
(God called; He invited them to partake and when they
didnt come, then He put them away, just like Vashti, just
like the apostate Church of our day is going to be put away,
divorced.) Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem?. Hes saying the apostate Church does not
believe that God can save to the uttermost. They dont believe that the Lord perfected them at the cross, so that by
faith they could walk into that. They dont believe that they
can behold as in a mirror the glory of the Lord and be
transformed into the same image from glory to glory (2
Corinthians 3:18).
The apostate Church today has accepted a greasy grace
that lets them stay like they are, without fruit. Notice what
God was rebuking them for: (2) Is my hand shortened
at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to
deliver? The apostate Church of our day doesnt believe
that God is able to deliver. They have a form of godliness
but they have denied the power thereof (2 Timothy 3:5).
The Bible says, From these also turn away (2Ti.3:5).
The reason for this is because God turns away.
In this text, Isaiah represents the Man-child. To begin
with, the name Jesus means The Lord is salvation,
but Isaiah means Our salvation is the Lord. Its the
exact same thing, just turned around! Now keep reading.
(Isa.50:4) The Lord God hath given me the tongue
of them that are taught, that I may know how to
sustain with words him that is weary: he wakeneth
morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to
hear as they that are taught. (5) The Lord God hath
opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither
105
turned away backward. (6) I gave my back to the

smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off
the hair. It sounds like a prophecy of Jesus, but we need
to understand Isaiah is saying how God trained him to be a
Man-child to lead Gods people out of apostasy in his day.
(7) For the Lord God will help me; therefore have I
not been confounded: therefore have I set my face
like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to
shame. (8) He is near that justifieth me; who will
contend with me?.
Many Are Called
So, once again, we see that God is going to walk away
from a bride who does not come when called. And since
they were called but didnt come, they are not chosen.
Anyone today who tells you that the natural Jew is the
chosen people of God hasnt read the New Testament. Dont
believe them. We also see the exact same thing in Romans
11. Remember that we saw in Jesus day that God rejected
the Jews and turned to the Church; in the Man-childs day,
God is rejecting the apostate spiritual Jews (the Church)
and is turning back to the natural Jews. All these things are
going to happen. This time, its after the beginning of the
ministry of the Man-child of our day. At that time, it was
after the beginning of the ministry of the Man-child Jesus.
But Few Are Chosen
We see the whole story written here: (Rom.11:17) But
if some of the branches were broken off, and thou,
being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them,
106
and didst become partaker with them of the root

of the fatness of the olive tree; (18) glory not over
the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou
that bearest the root, but the root thee. Of course,
the olive tree here is all Israel and the people who were
broken off because of unbelief in Christ were the natural
branches of the natural Jews. Theyre still not grafted in
and wont be until they believe in Christ, until they believe
in the born-again experience.
Jesus told Nicodemus, who seemed to be a more humble
Jew than the rest because he knew that Jesus was from God,
Except one be born anew (or from above), he cannot see (or enter) the kingdom of God (Joh.3:3). The
Jew has to be born again. He then told them that, no one
hath ascended into heaven, but He that descended
out of heaven (13). He was saying that we must be born
from above. We must be born of that Bread out of Heaven,
manna, Who Jesus said He was. Being born from above
is for Jesus to enter into our heart, which is to bring forth
the fruit of Christ. We must be born of that; no one goes to
heaven without being born again. No one. There is no Jew
who is a chosen of God unless they are born again to prove
it.
When Jesus said, No one hath ascended, He was talking about all of the Old Testament Jews who did not enter
in; they did not enter in to the born-again experience. They
all had to be born again or could not go to heaven. As a matter of fact, God made a compartment in a place called Sheol, the place of the dead. There was Hell and then there was
Abrahams bosom (Luke 16:22). God did not even take
these Old Testament Jews to Heaven. They had to be born
again. When Jesus was crucified, He went and preached to
107
the spirits in prison. He preached the Gospel; they received

it and He led (took) captivity captive(Eph.4:8). They
werent always in the Kingdom of Heaven. They were taken
there when they believed the Gospel and received the bornagain experience.
So nobody is the chosen of God unless theyre born
again in this Covenant. Anybody who tells you different
has not read the Bible. (Rom.11:19) Thou wilt say
then, Branches were broken off, that I might be
grafted in. (20) Well; by their unbelief they were
broken off (the natural Jews were broken off of the olive
tree, which is later called all Israel), and thou standest by thy faith. Now hes talking to the Church. Be not
highminded, but fear: (21) for if God spared not
the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.
There is a breaking-off coming to the Church. Notice, He
broke off the natural Jews, but theres another breakingoff coming and He tells us when its going to happen. (22)
Behold then the goodness and severity of God:
toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee,
Gods goodness, if thou continue in his goodness:
(Which, by the way, the Jews did not do. They were the type
and shadow of the Church, meaning that the Church as a
whole was not going to continue in His goodness, either.
Israel, as a whole, did not enter in. Only a remnant entered
in. The Church as a whole is not all going to enter in. Only
a remnant of the Church is going to enter in.) otherwise
thou also shalt be cut off. (23) And they also, if
they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. Notice
that we saw here a falling away of the Gentile Church and a
grafting back in of the Jew.
108
The first calling of Israel and a breaking-off and a

bringing-in of the Church happened in Jesus day. The last
calling, starting with the Church and ending with the Jews,
is going to be during the Man-childs ministry. Everything is
parallel. The types and shadows always repeat. (24) For if
thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild
olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature
into a good olive tree; how much more shall these,
which are the natural [branches,] be grafted into
their own olive tree? There is, once again, coming a
great revival among the Jews. Theyre going to turn to the
Lord and theyre going to be born again. They dont have
another covenant there is no other covenant. (25) For
I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this
mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that
a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the
fulness of the Gentiles be come in (and then that
hardening is going to be taken away); (26) and so all
Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There
shall come out of Zion the Deliverer. See, there
is something that is going to cause the Jews to come back
into the Kingdom today. And, by the way, they will raise
up the remnant of the Church, too. Just as Jesus raised up
a remnant of the Old Testament Church and brought in
the Gentiles, the Man-child ministry is going to raise up a
remnant of the Church in our day, break off the unbelievers
and bring back in the Jews. (26) He shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob. Praise God! So there is the
deliverer in our day and the deliverer in Jesus day, as Jesus
did the exact same thing.
109
Apostates Broken Off

Returning to where we were in Esther, notice what it
says: (Est.1:19) Let the king give her royal estate
unto another that is better than she. This is going
to be fulfilled twice: first in Jesus day when the Jews
were broken off and in our day, when much of what we
call the Church is going to be broken off. (20) And when
the kings decree which he shall make shall be
published throughout all his kingdom (for it is
great), all the wives will give to their husbands
honor, both to great and small. There wont be any
Jezebels in this new Kingdom. God wont permit that
rebellion.
The Unalterable Decree
But notice that this decree is published throughout all
of his kingdom. Do you know that the King did make a decree that is published throughout all of His Kingdom? It
is the Word of God. (21) And the saying pleased the
king and the princes; and the king did according
to the word of Memucan: (22) for he sent letters
(We talk about New Testament letters, dont we?) into all
the kings provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language (What else but the Word of God has
been translated into so many languages and throughout all
the Lords Kingdom?), that every man should bear
rule in his own house. We just read that in Ephesians
chapter four. Thats commanded of the Lord and its a type
and shadow of the Lord and His Church: a wife must obey
110
her husband, as the Lords Church obeys Him. He is the

head of the Church as the husband is the head of the wife.
Gods not going to change His mind on that.
We are told very plainly in 1 Corinthians 11 that the head
of every man is Christ and the head of the woman is the
man that it be not altered. When God wrote His Word, it
was never to be altered. When its been given the authority
of the King, its never to be changed. It doesnt matter if
everyone around us changes, but if we change, we have
departed from the Kings command. (22) And should
speak according to the language of his people.
The Bible tells us, If any man speaketh, [speaking]
as it were oracles of God (1Pe.4:11). In other words,
were supposed to say exactly what the Bible says. Were
not to add to it; were not to take away from it. This is the
command of the King. His Word cannot be changed. As we
read on here, were going to find out that the King made
several decrees that could not be changed. Even a decree
given to the Beast to come against His people could not
be changed. Were going to find out that what God has
commanded in His Word will happen. History will repeat.
What the Lord said about the Beasts in the Old Testament
that would rise up against His people is going to happen
again. He is not going to change. (Ecc.1:9) That which
hath been is that which shall be; and that which
hath been done is that which shall be done: and
there is no new thing under the sun.
111
The Word that Bears Fruit

So we see that Esther is a prophecy of the Church Age
and its a two-fold prophecy that started with Jesus the King
rejecting Vashti, Jezebel, for His new Bride. In these days,
also, a raising-up of the Man-child, in whom Jesus lives,
is prophesied in Esther. The Man-child is the firstfruits of
those to come to maturity and the new leadership for the
Church. Jesus was the leadership in that day and He is in
this day, too, but Hes coming now in a new seed of David,
a spiritual body of the son of David. We are Abrahams seed
because were walking in His steps and God is raising up a
seed in this day who walks in Davids steps. God is going
to use them to be His new leadership and to take back the
ground that the Beast has taken in the Church.
Gods given us His Word; Hes sent forth His letters into
all His provinces and Hes commanded us not to depart
from it. If any man speak, let him speak as an oracle of
God. Say exactly what God says. Be a vessel through whom
God can speak; thats what an oracle is. Be a vessel who
knows we cannot depart from the Kings Word and that its
against the law to do so. The modern Church doesnt mind.
They think, Its okay. We can go our own way and do our
own thing. But theyre having their own feast.
Theres only one thing we can feed upon. We dont need
Sunday School books we need The Book. We dont care
what men have to say about the Book. The Book is enough.
We need to get back to the Book. Read it. Read your New
Testament; feed upon the Word of God. You are what you
eat and many people are feeding upon garbage. Let the
Word of God be in your heart; its the only thing that brings
forth the fruit of Jesus Christ. Its His seed; its His sperma.
112
It is the very nature of the Lord Himself.

When that Word goes into our heart and we give it fertile ground, it brings forth Jesus in us. Thats why God tells
us in so many ways that we cannot depart from the Word,
for our thinking or our reasoning, or our religious demons;
we cannot depart from the Word. I hope that you have a
new fervor for Gods Word. Be careful that youre not a Jezebel. (2Co.6:17) Come ye out from among them,
and be ye separate, saith the Lord.
CHAPTER SEVEN
The Brides Preparation
We have discovered that Esther is a prophecy of the
Church Age, a prophecy that is hidden (Esther in Hebrew
means hidden or secret) and, of course, Esther is the
Bride shes hidden and secret. There are many revelations
concerning the Bride, which are hidden to the Church at
large. Like in the Song of Solomon, the Bride was furiously
running after her Beloved. It was more important to her
to seek the Lord than it was to the rest of the queens, concubines and virgins. It was rather ho-hum with them, but
with the Bride, this was serious business. She was desiring
earnestly to come into the presence of the Master.
In the first chapter of Esther, we found a prophecy
showing us that when the Lord came and called Israel, His
Old Testament Bride, to come before Him, that they refused,
just as Vashti refused Ahasuerus. He, in turn, refused her
because of her rebellion in not coming before Him when
called. The Lord Jesus also called and got very few answers.
Those who did answer actually became members of His
New Testament Bride. So we thank God for that revelation
in Esther.
The Word that Wont Pass Away
There is also a revelation of the Bible itself, toward the
end of chapter one, where we see that the King sent forth
His letters in all the languages of all the peoples. One very
interesting point is that once the royal commandment went
forth, the laws could be not altered (Est.1:19). There-
114
fore, we see what is being said here is very important.

Jesus name in gematria is 888; eight is His number and
the number of the following verse: (Est.8:8) Write ye
also to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the kings
name, and seal it with the kings ring; for the
writing which is written in the kings name, and
sealed with the kings ring, may no man reverse.
We can understand from that to be very careful to accept
only the doctrine that the Lord has given us in His letters
and not try to change them in the least. The Bible tells us in
Jude to contend earnestly for the faith which was
once for all delivered unto the saints (Jud.3). It also
says that If that which ye heard from the beginning
abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in
the Father (1Jn.2:24). If we dont abide in the Son, we
dont bear fruit; if we dont bear fruit, then were not going
to be in the Bride. So to abide in the Son is to have that in
you that you heard from the beginning. That is what God
wrote in the beginning we cant add to it and we cant
take away from it. To do so is accursed, according to the
last five verses of the Book of Revelation.
The Process of Choosing a New Bride
As we continue reading, we get a revelation of who the
Bride is and what is important to this Bride. (Est.2:1) After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus
was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what
she had done, and what was decreed against her.
(2) Then said the kings servants that ministered
unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought
for the king: (3) and let the king appoint officers
115
in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may

gather together all the fair young virgins unto
Shushan the palace, to the house of the women,
unto the custody of Hegai the kings chamberlain,
keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them. I believe that Hegai, the Kings
chamberlain here, represents the Holy Spirit. He is the
keeper of the women. It is his job to make sure that these
women are beautiful to the King.
The Holy Spirits job is to manifest Jesus Christ in us and
that is what is beautiful to the King: Christ in you, the
hope of glory (Col.1:27). As Jesus said when He spoke
to Nicodemus about having to be born from above, No one
hath ascended into heaven, but He that descended
out of heaven (Joh.3:13). We know that the born-again
man is born from above, the Word of God that comes down
out of heaven, that recreates in us that spiritual man, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Thats also the manifestation
of sonship, which is very important. The Holy Spirits job
is to empower this process and its our job to believe what
the Word of God says, so that we give Him authority to empower this process.
Notice that many fair young virgins were gathered together and a Bride was going to be chosen from among
these. As a matter of fact, we have many types of the Bride
in the Scriptures. In the Song of Solomon, it is the Bride
who is running after her Beloved, while the rest of the
queens, concubines and virgins didnt seem to be so excited about this. They even questioned her, What is thy
beloved more than [another] beloved, O thou fairest among women? (Son.5:9). In other words, What
makes your Jesus any better than our Jesus?
116
I also like what it says here: (Son.6:8) There are

threescore queens, and fourscore concubines,
And virgins without number. (9) My dove, my undefiled (thats the word for perfect, too, by the way), is
[but] one; She is the only one of her mother (Meaning shes the only one who has come out of the mother; the
rest of these are still a corporate body of the mother.); she
is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; [Yea,] the
queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
Its going to be that way because this is also a prophecy
of the end-time and, even though there are many virgins
who are contending to be in this Bride, not everyone is going to be. Thats a false doctrine thats not scriptural. We
see that in every prophecy of the Bride. Psalm 45 says the
same thing about the Bride. The virgins followed her into
the Kingdom. The Song of Solomon and Esther say the
same thing. No, God is not going to depart from His Word.
(Est.2:4) And let the maiden that pleaseth the king
be queen instead of Vashti. A Bride will be chosen
out of His New Testament people that we call the Church
and thats why this is so important.
By saying that the whole Church is the Bride, the Church
has destroyed this very motivating parable that the Lord
has given unto us. Truly, we are all called to be; we are all
invited to partake of the fruit of Jesus Christ. The fruit of
Christ is what makes this Bride more beautiful than the
rest of the queens, concubines and virgins. The Lord has a
relationship with all of these groups, but only one will be
the Bride. So the Holy Spirits job is to be the keeper of the
women and to bring forth that fruit.
The Bible says, For by one offering He hath
117
perfected for ever them that are sanctified

(Heb.10:14). The Lord has already perfected His people.
How few are partaking of the benefits! Were called to that
perfection, which was a gift to us by Jesus Christ, by that
one offering. But not everybody is paying attention to the
calling, the invitation. We are invited to partake of what
Jesus provided for us and He provided perfection for us.
Many dont believe that and so they dont receive that
because they dont believe the real Gospel. But this Bride
believes it she believes the Word of God. She wants to be
beautiful to the King and there is nothing that will make
you beautiful to the King if the Word of God is not living
in you. (Est.2:4) And let the maiden that pleaseth
the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing
pleased the king; and he did so.
The Man-child Ministry Raising a Motherless Child
(Est.2:5) There was a certain Jew in Shushan
the palace, whose name was Mordecai. The name
Mordecai in Hebrew means little man and in Persian
it means little boy, both of which mean Man-child. No
matter how you translate it, were talking about the Manchild here. Mordecai is the Man-child. Notice that we discovered in our studies leading up to this that Jesus, the
Man-child, led the Bride, raised up the Bride, bought the
Bride. When John the Baptist saw Jesus leading His disciples, he said, He that hath the bride is the bridegroom (Joh.3:29). Once again, history is about to repeat. The Man-child ministry is about to start again and
the exact same thing is going to happen, except this time
its a corporate Man-child, a much larger one that covers
118
the earth. (Est.2:7) And he brought up Hadassah,

that is, Esther. Brought up here means nourished;
not just fed, but nourished. All the queens and concubines
get fed, but not everybody is nourished. It is beyond feeding and more like getting what you need to grow and be
healthy. Thats not true of everyone in Christian circles.
Theyre not getting what they need to be healthy Christians.
So this verse can be read, And he nourished Hadassah,
that is, Esther. (7) And he brought up Hadassah,
that is, Esther, his uncles daughter: for she had
neither father nor mother, and the maiden was
fair and beautiful; and when her father and
mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own
daughter. He raised her up after her father and mother
died. What are we to learn from this? What does it have
to do with a father and a mother? With the other brides,
the same stipulation was there since, obviously, every
bride has to leave her father and mother. Shes no longer
under their authority, but under the total authority of her
husband. Who comprises this father and mother? When
were looking at a parable, if we see it in the letter, the
letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life (2Co.3:6), so
we need to see what the Spirit is saying here.
The Lord, Our Husband
Here are more verses about the Bride: (Psa.45:9)
Kings daughters are among thy honorable
women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen
in gold of Ophir. Notice that the kings daughters are
not the queen. They are honorable women, but theyre not
the queen. (10) Hearken, O daughter, consider, and
119
incline thine ear; Forget also thine own people,

and thy fathers house: (11) So will the king desire
thy beauty; For he is thy lord; and reverence thou
him. Who is the Lord? Is it your religion that is the Lord?
Is it your pastor who is the Lord? No, theres only one
Lord. We need to reverence Him. When we leave father
and mother, we need to submit to our Lord, submit to our
Husband, Who is the Lord God.
Being Weaned from Spiritual Fathers and Mothers
According to the Word, religions, churches and organizations, all of them together, are the mother, so to speak.
Paul used it this way: (Gal.1:13) For ye have heard of
my manner of life in time past in the Jews religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the
church of God (We have a persecution being raised up
from so-called Christian circles against the true people of
God in our day. With Paul, it was from the Jews. So Gods
people were persecuting the Christian Jews in that day.)
and made havoc of it: (14) and I advanced in the
Jews religion beyond many of mine own age
among my countrymen, being more exceedingly
zealous for the traditions of my fathers. He had
spiritual fathers, people who raised him up in that religion, who taught him in that religion, who sowed the seed
of the word of that religion in him.
And, of course, he was in the Jews religion, which was
his mother. (15) But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my
mothers womb. He wasnt talking about his biological mothers womb because this was after he had received
120
the traditions of his fathers and was raised up in the Jewish

religion. Hes talking about his spiritual mothers womb,
similar to the Man-child in Revelation 12, who is born from
the Church. Paul was being birthed from the Jewish religion
and, I might say, in our day we should be doing the exact
same thing with Christianity. We should be being birthed
out of the religions of Christianity that are not Christianity. Theyre just mans works. (15) But when it was the
good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even]
from my mothers womb, and called me through
his grace, (16) to reveal his Son in me. If you want
the Son to be manifested in you, you have to be birthed
out of the mother of the religions, like Paul was. (Ecc.1:9)
That which hath been is that which shall be; and
that which hath been done is that which shall be
done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Paul was caught up to the throne. He said so. Thats a
type of the Man-child, but in order for him to be caught
up to the throne, he had to be birthed out of his mother.
The same thing is true of the Man-child of Revelation 12,
but this time were not talking about the Jewish religion,
were talking about the Christian religion. Its still religion.
Notice that he said he was exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. Thats the same problem we have
with Christianity. People are very zealous for the traditions of their spiritual fathers. Paul said, For though ye
have ten thousand tutors in Christ, yet [have ye]
not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begat you
through the gospel (1Co.4:15). So he was a spiritual
father, too, but he got his tradition from Jesus Christ. They
got theirs from religion, like many of the religions that we
came out of.
121
Jesus said, And ye have made void (of no effect) the

word of God because of your tradition (Mat.15:6).
He rebuked the Jews with that. Could it be said today? Of
course; absolutely. The traditions of men have infiltrated
the whole Christian religion. We dont want to be religious.
We want to be birthed out of, separated from, the mother
and separated from father because now we have a Husband
and our Husband is the Lord. Were told in Genesis 21:8
that Abraham had a great celebration, a feast, when Isaac
was weaned from his mother because now Isaac could follow him wherever he went. He wasnt tied to mom. In those
days, you never got too far from mom. If you were on the
milk, you had to stay close to mom and its the same today. But we cant grow up on the milk. The Bible says, For
as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are
sons of God (Rom.8:14). Isaac was able to follow his
father because he was weaned from the milk, and so it is if
you want to be a son of God. You have to be weaned from
the milk, you have to be able to follow your Father whithersoever He goes. Revelation 14:4 speaks of that. If you want
true knowledge, you have to be weaned from mother, from
mothers milk. (Isa.28:9) Whom will he teach knowledge? and whom will he make to understand the
message? them that are weaned from the milk,
and drawn from the breasts? (10) For it is precept
upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon
line, line upon line; here a little, there a little.
One time I had a revelation about an old, withered cow.
The Lord showed me that that cow represented Christianity, but a Man-child was born from that cow and I was taking the Man-child up an escalator. The Lord revealed to
me the cow is the Church. He also introduced me to the
122
bulls of Bashan (Psa.22:12), a prophecy about the religious leaders who persecuted Jesus. We still have bulls of
Bashan today because they sow their seed in the cow. Paul
said, yet [have ye] not many fathers; for in Christ
Jesus I begat you through the gospel (1Co.4:15).
He wasnt sowing his own seed, he was sowing the Lords
seed. A harlot is one who receives a seed that is not her husbands. The Lord spoke to me about this cow. He said, You
know, the cow only feeds milk and the only way you can get
any meat out of it is if you kill it. Jesus said, My meat is
to do the will of Him that sent me (Joh.4:34). We
need to be weaned from mother, from apostate Christianity, so we can follow our Father whithersoever He goes, so
we can follow our Husband whithersoever He goes. Weve
been called to be separated from mother and father, to be
one with our Husband. For as many as are led by the
Spirit of God, these are sons of God (Rom.8:14).
We can read more about the milk and maturing here:
(Heb.5:11) Of whom we have many things to say,
and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become
dull of hearing. Notice that the only one who is going
to understand the message is the one whos been weaned
from milk. People are hard of hearing. Gods people, who
are trapped into all these queens and concubines, are hard
of hearing. (12) For when by reason of the time ye
ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some
one teach you the rudiments of the first principles
of the oracles of God; and are become such as have
need of milk, and not of solid food. Thats true. So
many people never get to grow up because they feed on the
milk all the time. Milk, milk, milk. They never get weaned
so they can follow their Husband, the Lord.
123
Theyre still under the dominion of their spiritual father and mother. They have not left father and mother to
become one with their husband. Are you saying, David,
that we need to be separated from the Church? No, Im
saying we need to separate from the religions that claim
to be the Church. The word church means called-out
ones. Theyre called to be separate from what is worldly,
from what is unsanctified, from what are the religions of
men. Were called out. They claim to be the Church but
they refuse to come out. You have to be separate in order
to be one with the Husband. So he says here, you are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid
food. (13) For every one that partaketh of milk is
without experience of the word of righteousness
(Theyre not partaking of the meat; theyre still feeding on
the milk.); for he is a babe. (14) But solid food is for
fullgrown men (or perfect men same word), [even]
those who by reason of use (Reason of use? Who is
using the Word of God? Who has the Word of God as their
sword? As their shield? As their helmet? Who is being used
by the Word of God?) have their senses exercised to
discern good and evil. We have to have spiritual senses, not carnal senses. We have to see the way God sees. We
have to hear what God says, not have ears for men, their
religions or their ways.
Jesus said, My meat is to do the will of Him that
sent me (Joh.4:34). Those people who are on milk are
without experience of the Word of righteousness. Theyre
not doing the will of the Father. Then he goes on to explain
himself. He says, (Heb.6:1) Wherefore leaving the
doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press
on unto perfection; not laying again a founda-
124
tion of repentance from dead works. Many times,

you go into churches and they preach repent, repent, repent and theyre always filling up altars with the same old
people who go back there every Sunday. They never seem
to get the revelation of the Gospel which enables them to
walk without falling back into the same old stumblings.
A foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith
toward God. These are all good things but theyre foundations that much of the Church is stuck on.
(1) Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first
principles of Christ, let us press on unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of repentance
from dead works, and of faith toward God, (2) of
the teaching of baptisms. Well over 30 years ago, I
was in a church that taught a lot on baptism, on being filled
with the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, the Godhead
and different things, round and round; it was a little circle,
the same old milk. Nobody wanted to go on to perfection;
nobody knew that it was available, even though the Bible
clearly says it, even in this text. Nobody emphasized these
very important things. Finally, I realized that I wasnt ever
going to grow up there and the Lord separated me from my
spiritual mother and father. To me, after that, they were
dead. Remember Esthers situation. After her mother and
father were dead, Mordecai the Man-child nourished her.
Who was following Jesus when John the Baptist said, He
that hath the bride is the bridegroom (Joh.3:29)?
Who was it was walking with Jesus, learning of Jesus, sitting at His feet? It was the Bride, but where did she come
from? She came out of the apostate denominations of Judaism.
Now, in our day, the same thing has to happen to those
125
who are bound up in the apostate denominations, or queens

and concubines, of Christianity. It has to happen. We have
to come out from among them and be separate. We are
the called-out ones. Does that mean we dont have fellowship? Of course, we have fellowship with people of like
mind. Were fellowshipping with the Church, the called-out
ones, the people who are willing to come out, the people
who are willing to separate.
Does it mean that we judge our younger brother and
sister? No, it doesnt mean that at all. Were forbidden to
do that by Romans 14. Everyone has to grow at their own
rate. But if you want to be in the Bride, you have a high
calling of God in Christ Jesus here. If you just want to be
in the Church, you dont have very far to go. But were
talking about the Bride today. So, he continues: (Heb.6:1)
Wherefore leaving the doctrine of the first
principles of Christ, let us press on (lets continue on)
unto perfection; not laying again a foundation of
repentance from dead works, and of faith toward
God, (2) of the teaching of baptisms, and of laying
on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and
of eternal judgment. (3) And this will we do, if God
permit.
An Undefiled, Virgin Bride
But once we are separated, we cant just stay there in
one spot. Here hes talking about the firstfruits, which in
this case are numbered as 144,000. (Rev.14:4) These
are they that were not defiled with women (The
women are the queens, the concubines, the denominations, the groups, the sects.); for they are virgins.
126
The meaning of this is that they havent received any seed

of man. None of us wants that we have to be perpetual
virgins in that case because were never to receive the seed
of man. We have to always receive that which ye heard
from the beginning (1Jn.2:24). (Rev.14:4) These
[are] they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he
goeth. There it is, right there. Remember, the Shulamite,
or perfect one, in the Song of Solomon was only interested in following after the Bridegroom. (Rom.8:14) As
many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are
sons of God. (19) For the earnest expectation of
the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons
of God. This is not talking about the children of God;
thats different. Were all born into the Kingdom, manifestly children, but were here to manifest the Son. Thats what
makes us sons of God.
How do you manifest the Son? Well, like Jesus said, you
receive the seed, humbly, into your broken-up ground and
you bring forth fruit 30-, 60- and 100-fold. That is Christ
in you, the hope of glory (Col.1:27). John continues
the verse: (Rev.14:4) These were purchased from
among men, [to be] the firstfruits unto God and
unto the Lamb. And theyre not defiled with the women.
The Work of the Holy Spirit
Now turn back to our text in Esther. (Est.2:8) So it
came to pass, when the kings commandment and
his decree was heard, and when many maidens
were gathered together unto Shushan the palace,
to the custody of Hegai (that is, the Kings chamberlain, representing the Holy Spirit), that Esther was tak-
127
en into the kings house, to the custody of Hegai,

keeper of the women. (9) And the maiden pleased
him. What do we do to please the Holy Spirit? Obviously, we can grieve the Holy Spirit. Scripture speaks about
that, but just the opposite is true of those who please the
Holy Spirit. We cant be pleasing unto God without having faith. The Bible says, Without faith it is impossible
to be well-pleasing [unto him] (Heb.11:6) and the
Holy Spirit is Gods Spirit. (Est.2:9) And the maiden
pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him
(We need the kindness of the Holy Spirit. We need the favor of the Holy Spirit because were doing what is pleasing
unto Him.); and he speedily gave her her things for
purification. Obviously, what the Lord is looking for is
a purified Bride.
Its a possibility that we could speedily receive what we
need from the Holy Spirit to be pleasing unto the Lord.
(Psa.81:11) But my people hearkened not to my
voice (To be pleasing unto the Holy Spirit would be to
hearken unto His voice.); And Israel would none of
me. (12) So I let them go after the stubbornness
of their heart, That they might walk in their own
counsels. They were walking in counsel, but it was their
own counsel, not Gods. When they were in the wilderness,
because they were stubborn and rebellious, God led them
around in circles out there. He didnt take them straight to
the Promised Land, the land of milk and honey, the land of
blessing where Gods promises were fulfilled. They werent
learning their lessons and they werent hearing His voice.
(Psa.81:13) O, that my people would hearken unto
me, That Israel would walk in my ways! (14) I
would soon subdue their enemies. So God can do
128
a quick work, if well cooperate with Him in this process.

If we will walk by faith, if we will not hearken to any other voice but His, if we will be led by the Spirit of God, He
will soon subdue our enemies. (13) O, that my people
would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in
my ways! (14) I would soon subdue their enemies,
and turn my hand against their adversaries.
Why do we go through such trouble and turmoil and why
are we so persecuted? Its because the old man isnt dead
yet; the process isnt finished yet. Were in Gods hands;
He is our Father. He has not left us up to anyone else, not
even the devil. When He turns us over to the devil, its for a
good purpose, just as in 1 Corinthians 5 and in 1 Timothy.
It is for a chastening, to bring us to repentance. But God
said that He wants to turn His hand against our adversaries, not use our adversaries on us perpetually. God had to
do that with Israel. He had to use their adversaries upon
them perpetually. They would never learn their lesson,
repent, soften their hearts and turn to Him, or He would
have quickly subdued their enemies and conquered their
adversaries. (15) The haters of the Lord should submit themselves unto Him. Make no mistake about it,
when were rebelling, its because we hate the Lord. What
is it that some people dont like about you, about me? Isnt
it really the Lord? In some cases, thats exactly what it is.
They hated Jesus because they hated God; they hated the
Father and He said as much: (Joh.15:24) But now have
they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
(Psa.81:15) The haters of the Lord should submit
themselves unto Him: But their time should endure forever. (16) He would feed them also with
the finest of the wheat; And with honey out of the
129
rock would I satisfy thee. See, it doesnt have to be a

hard road. The way of the transgressor is hard
(Pro.13:15); but it doesnt have to be hard continually.
Its true that we have to be broken. Every seed does have
to be broken so that the inner heart can grow up and bear
fruit, but we dont have to make this an eternal process
until we run out of time. Were running a race and our race
is against time. Weve only been given so much time on
this earth to bear fruit. Were running against the clock,
not against one another, and if we cooperate with God (as
Scripture says, Shall two walk together, except they
have agreed? (Amo.3:3)), He will walk with us, and we
will soon see the end of our enemies.
The Seven Attributes of Faith
We see that about Esther. She cooperated and the Holy
Spirit gave to her the things that she needed for purification speedily. (Est.2:9) And the maiden pleased him,
and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her
portions, and the seven maidens who were meet
to be given her out of the kings house. The seven
maidens were given to her because she pleased the Lord.
I believe that the Lord showed me years ago that this was
talking about the seven beams of light in the spectrum. Jesus said, I am the light of the world (Joh.8:12) and a
prism breaks down the light into seven different attributes
that we call colors. Josephs coat of many colors (Genesis 37:3) designated him as the Man-child reflecting Jesus
Christ, a garment that he put on. The Bible says, Put ye
on the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom.13:14).
130
Also, this represents the seven attributes of Christ spoken of by Peter: (2Pe.1:5) Yea, and for this very cause
adding on your part all diligence, in your faith.
In the original, there was no comma after diligence. It was
put there by translators who thought it needed to be there,
but there is no comma there. It is adding on your part all
diligence in your faith. Faith is a gift of God. We can use
it. Jesus rebuked His disciples because they didnt use the
faith that He gave them, not because they didnt have faith.
(2Th.3:2) All have not faith. (Rom.12:3) God
has dealt to each man a measure of faith. That is,
each of Gods people. So we can be diligent to use the faith
that God has given us.
(2Pe.1:5) Yea, and for this very cause adding on
your part all diligence in your faith, supply virtue; and in [your] virtue knowledge. Some translations say, adding to, etc. But in the original, it actually
reads in, just like the little eggshells that youve seen, that
if you open one eggshell, theres another eggshell inside,
and so on. So all of these attributes are in faith. Faith is
the victory that overcomes the world; faith gives us everything we need from God. Thats why we reckon ourselves
to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God (Rom.6:11).
We accept the free gift of Jesus Christ in us.
So he talks about these different virtues and attributes
of Christ: (2Pe.1:6) And in [your] knowledge selfcontrol; and in [your] self-control patience; and in
[your] patience godliness; (7) and in [your] godliness brotherly kindness; and in [your] brotherly
kindness love. (8) For if these things are yours
and abound, they make you to be not idle nor
unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
131
Christ. You may be thinking, Its easy to say, If these

things are yours and abound; but Jesus gave us all this.
(Heb.10:14) For by one offering he hath perfected
for ever them that are sanctified. He gave us Who He
was. He made an exchange of His life for our life. Thats the
Gospel!
The Gospel is, We dont live anymore; its Christ Who
lives in us. Paul said, I have been crucified with
Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ
liveth in me (Gal.2:20). And notice what Peter says:
(2Pe.1:9) For he that lacketh these things is blind,
seeing only what is near (The Greek wording there actually means near-sighted; not seeing things from afar;
not seeing what God has given us from afar.), having
forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. Have you
forgotten that Jesus took away your sins that you dont
have those attributes that are contrary to Christ? You have
now been given Christ. (2Co.3:18) But we all, with
unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory
of the Lord, are transformed into the same image
from glory to glory. What were saying is, Jesus lives
in me because the Book says so. Hes given us this free gift
of His righteousness.
By the way, the Bible does say, For if any one is a
hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto
a man beholding his natural face in a mirror
(Jas.1:23). Well, that will get us nowhere. If you see your
natural face in the mirror, youre just going to be a hearer
of the Word, not a doer of the Word. Youll have no power
to obey because there is no faith involved. Your faith has
to be in the fact that Christ now lives in you. Hes the One
doing the work; Hes the One empowering you. You dont
132
have to continue in your sins anymore because Hes given

you the victory! Hes taken your sins and nailed them on
that cross and Hes given you His righteousness. Now we
are the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Old things have passed away and all things have become
new (verse 17). This is how faith works. Without faith, its
impossible to be well-pleasing unto God (Hebrews 11:6).
How can you be well-pleasing in your life without faith? Its
not possible.
So he says, If you dont have these seven attributes that
are all wound up in faith, then you are near-sighted, seeing
your natural face in a mirror. (2Pe.1:10) Wherefore,
brethren, give the more diligence to make your
calling and election sure. We know were called but
the word election means chosen. You cant be chosen
without fruit, Jesus said, 30-, 60- and 100-fold. He meant
that and that is fruit of the Word in you. Its fruit of your
faith, too, because faith gives us all these things that were
given to us by God. (10) Wherefore, brethren, give the
more diligence to make your calling and election
sure: for if ye do these things. How can we do these
things? We have to believe that this exchange has been
made. We accept it by faith. That faith then authorizes the
Holy Spirit to empower us. Were pleasing unto Hegai, the
Kings chamberlain, so He speedily gives us these seven
maidens, these attributes. (10) Wherefore, brethren,
give the more diligence to make your calling and
election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall
never stumble: (11) for thus shall be richly supplied
unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
133
First the Man-child, Then the Bride

Were entering into the Kingdom here! The first-fruits to
enter into the Kingdom is the Man-child. The Man-child is
raising up the Bride to enter into the Kingdom. (Joh.3:29)
He that hath the bride is the bridegroom. Jesus
is being manifested in His firstfruits, the Man-child, in
order to fellowship and mature the Bride and thats what
He desires greatly. (Est.2:9) And he removed her
and her maidens to the best place of the house of
the women. Praise God! (10) Esther had not made
known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai
had charged her that she should not make it
known. (11) And Mordecai walked every day
before the court of the womens house, to know
how Esther did, and what would become of her.
Notice that Mordecai followed her and, actually, he was her
leader all the way through the Book of Esther, as we will
discover as we study on.
All that We Need Has Been Given
(Est.2:12) Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus (to be inspected; to see who was going to be the Bride), after that
it had been done to her according to the law for
the women twelve months (for so were the days
of their purifications accomplished, [to wit,] six
months with oil of myrrh, and six months with
sweet odors and with the things for the purifying of the women), (13) then in this wise came the
maiden unto the king: Whatsoever she desired
134
was given her to go with her out of the house of

the women unto the kings house. This is very important, that Whatsoever she desired was given her. Do
you have a desire? If you read Song of Solomon, you see
something about the difference between the Bride and the
virgins. There was a difference in desire. The desire of the
Bride was to fellowship with her Lord, her King, her Beloved. Her desire was to constantly run after her Beloved,
to appropriate more of Him.
Notice also that it says here very plainly that Whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out
of the house of the women unto the kings house.
Everything we need has been supplied. (2Pe.1:2) Grace
to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge
of God and of Jesus our Lord; (3) seeing that his
divine power hath granted (Everything we need has
been given to us. This is what you see in the Spirit, with
your eyes exercised to discern good from evil, by the Word
of God. This is how you are supposed to see.) unto us all
things that pertain unto life (Gods life, zo life) and
godliness (Hes given us all things that we need for life
and godliness, or purification. That was what the virgins
were going through, purification, to be ready.), through
the knowledge of him that called us by his own
glory and virtue. Its not just any knowledge that you
can get at any church. Its Gods knowledge, the knowledge
of His Word. It cannot be changed; it will not be changed
for the Bride. She is accepting the Word just exactly as it
is, not perverting or twisting it for her egos sake; shes not
twisting it for her own doctrines sake. Shes a virgin, so she
has not received the seed of men. (4) Whereby he hath
granted unto us his precious and exceeding great
135
promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature (Hes already given us what
is necessary; Hes given us His promises.), having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by
lust.
See, its already been done. The only thing we have to
do is exercise faith. If we exercise faith, we please the Holy
Spirit. If we please the Holy Spirit, He quickly gives us purification, the seven maidens which are mentioned in 2
Peter 5-8. The only thing that impresses the Holy Spirit
is faith in the true promises of God. Thats why He gives
us authority. Thats why He empowers us. The Holy Spirit
comes to us for the purpose of manifesting Christ in us.
Thats what Hes there for. Hes our helper, our Paraclete.
(2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement
of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear
of God.
This is what the Bride is doing, but then she knows thats
her opportunity and the false gospel out there robs that opportunity from Gods people. They dont know thats what
theyre here for, that theyre running a race to be pure in
the amount of time given them to bear fruit. They dont
know that the Lord has already given us everything that we
need to have Gods zo life. Thats exactly what it says here:
(Est.2:13) Whatsoever she desired was given
her to go with her out of the house of the women
unto the kings house. (14) In the evening she went,
and on the morrow she returned into the second
house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz,
the kings chamberlain (This is a different chamberlain here. This one has charge over the womens house,
136
not the Kings house.), who kept the concubines: she

came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name. And,
of course, Esther was the one who was called by name. (15)
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for
his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she
required nothing but what Hegai the kings chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. We
need nothing but what the Holy Spirit will give unto us
the Word of God and nothing else. It behooves us to really seek after the truth and run after the Word.
CHAPTER EIGHT
A New Bride Is Chosen: The First Throne Experience
As we study the relationship between the Man-child and
the Bride, we discover that the Man-child is a part of the
Bride company because, as David dwelt in Jerusalem and
Jerusalem represents the Bride, according to Revelation,
he was a part of that. But he was also the head, the leadership of the Bride, the capital city, which, in turn, was the
leadership over the rest of the 12 tribes. In studying Esther,
we discovered some things that differentiate the Bride from
the rest of the people, from the many virgins who had come
to be inspected by the king in making the decision as to
who the true Bride was going to be.
We learned that everything the Bride desired was
given to her (Esther 2:13) to go unto the Kings house.
It is interesting to realize that God has already provided
everything we need to be beautiful in His sight as His Bride,
to come into His presence. Since everything has been given
already, whose fault is it if we dont partake of it? Not Gods.
Some people are spending all their time trying to talk God
into something and the Bible says that Hes already given
it. Therefore, its up to us to believe it, to accept it and to
walk by faith.
Child of the Almighty Father
Lets continue where we left off, still researching what
it is to be a member of this bridal body. (Est.2:15) Now
when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail
the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his
138
daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the kings chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed.
She required nothing but what Hegai appointed. He was
the kings chamberlain and he represents in this parable
the Holy Spirit. Everything we need comes from Him.
We dont need anything from man, whatsoever. In fact,
its a waste of time. The Bible says that we dont even have
need for any man to teach us, that we have an anointing
from the Holy One: (1Jn.2:27) And as for you, the
anointing which ye received of him abideth in you,
and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his
anointing teacheth you concerning all things, and
is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye
abide in him. However, the Holy One uses men to teach
us and to preach and to lead and to guide, but He has to be
in it. We have no need for men to do this; we have to make
sure that were receiving from the Lord. For as many as
are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God
(Rom.8:14).
Notice that in verse 15, the name of Esthers father is
mentioned, whereas before, it was only mentioned that
Mordecais uncle was Esthers father. After speaking of all
the qualities of purification, of the seven maidens, of the
things that were given unto her out of the kings house,
now it speaks of her being the daughter of Abihail, which
means the father of might, or in other terms, Almighty
Father. Now it is mentioned that she is an offspring of
the Almighty. Praise be to God! And she required nothing
but what the Holy Spirit appointed. Isnt it so with us? We
dont need anything else but what the Holy Spirit has given
to bring us to this point and He has provided it.
A New Bride Is Chosen...
139
Faith in the Word of God Plus Nothing

The first thing that comes to my mind on reading this
verse is the Word of God, which was spoken by the Holy
Spirit, in 2 Timothy. The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God
to dress us up, to make us beautiful before the King and if
youre expecting to do so any other way, youll find that the
Word Itself says thats not going to happen. (2Ti.3:14) But
abide thou in the things which thou hast learned
and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou
hast learned them. Listen, folks, there are a lot of people
in this world we cant trust to teach us and, frankly, in our
immature state in some cases, we dont really know that.
We become very respectful of men who are not in obedience to the Holy Spirit, nor have they learned of the Holy
Spirit, nor are they a vessel through whom the Holy Spirit
speaks. But we know of whom we have learned these things
from the Scriptures.
For instance, we know the people whom God used. We
know the Apostle Paul, we know Peter, we know John, we
know the people whom God used as our teachers and we
know that the Scripture tells us to Contend earnestly
for the faith which was once for all delivered unto
the saints (Jud.3). Were not to trust in any different
faith today but the one which was once and for all delivered unto the saints. (1Jn.2:24) If that which ye
heard from the beginning (that is, from Paul, Peter,
John, etc., all by the Holy Spirit) abide in you, ye also
shall abide in the Son, and in the Father. Theres no
way to bear fruit and be beautiful, except to abide in the
Son. So, he says, you know from Whom youve learned this
and we know from Bible numerics.
140
Weve spoken about Bible numerics, that these men did

not write this on their own; the Holy Spirit wrote this, every jot, every tittle, every letter is in its place in the original Greek and Hebrew. These men were totally, perfectly
inspired to do this and no other writing on the face of the
earth is that way. We know now even better than they knew
in that day that God Almighty was using these men and
thats the only way you can trust a man. We can trust the
teachers in the Scriptures but we cant trust an awful lot of
other people. Thats why we need to check everything out
against the Word of God.
Salvation is the thing that makes us beautiful. (2Ti.3:15)
And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred
writings which are able to make thee wise unto
salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Salvation, to some people, is, Well, I accepted Jesus; I
stuck my toe in the door and, now, all I have to do is sit
down and wait for the Rapture. But the truth is that salvation is the full manifestation of Christ in you. Salvation
is salvation in your spirit, soul, mind, will and emotions.
It is the manifestation of Christ in you and thats what is
beautiful because, as Jesus Himself said, No one hath
ascendeth into heaven, but he that descended out
of heaven (Joh.3:13). Jesus Himself is coming down to
live in His saints. He is our fruit.
Some people say, The Word of God is not the most important thing; its the fruit. Well, the fruit comes from the
Word of God. When the sower went forth and sowed the
seed, which was the Word of God, in the hearts, it brought
forth fruit, 30-, 60- and 100-fold (Matthew 13:3-23). Everything comes through faith in the Word. Hes not leaving faith out here. We just read it: wise unto salvation
141
through faith which is in Christ Jesus. So its faith in the

Word thats the foundation of every need being met and it
all comes from the Holy Spirit, just as we read in our text in
Esther. We dont need anything to be beautiful for the Lord
more than what He has already done by His Holy Spirit
and by the faith that He puts in our heart.
(2Ti.3:16) Every scripture inspired of God (That
phrase should be translated God-breathed. The root word
for breathed there is the same as the root word for spirit, as in Holy Spirit.) [is] also profitable for teaching,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction which
is in righteousness: (17) that the man of God may
be complete. This is what were talking about. What is
it to be in the Bride? Were talking about being complete
in the Lord. Some people say, Hey, thats not possible.
Well, then this is a really ludicrous statement that Paul is
making to Timothy and that the Holy Spirit is making to
us, saying, That the man of God may be complete. The
word complete there is the same word for perfect. (17)
That the man of God may be complete, furnished
completely unto every good work.
Notice that its unto every good work. Its important
to have works. The Bride is beautiful because shes dressed
up by the Holy Spirit to do good works. Shes dressed up
by the Word of God to do the works of God. We know
that these promises through the Word are all we need for
sanctification. The Bible says, Having therefore these
promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from
all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness (That would be the Bride, of course.) in the fear
of God (2Co.7:1). It all comes by faith in the Word. We
can be totally, perfectly cleansed, according to the Word of
142
God.
If you dont have faith and youre taught not to have faith,
then you cannot have this and you will not be in the Bride.
Jesus said, According to your faith be it done unto
you (Mat.9:29) and As thou hast believed, [so] be
it done unto thee (Mat.8:13). Its very important what
we believe. Were not talking about our power to be holy.
Were talking about Gods power to be holy that is ours because of our faith. So its very important that we believe exactly what the Word of God has to say, without adding to it
or taking away from it. Again, notice it was the Holy Spirit
Who brought these things and thats all we need, just as it
said of Esther. We need nothing, except what the Kings
chamberlain provides.
Nothing that man has to offer will make us that much
closer to God. (Rev.22:18) I testify unto every man
that heareth the words of the prophecy of this
book, If any man shall add unto them. We need
nothing but what the Holy Spirit has provided. You dont
need a Sunday School book you need The Book. You need
to get it first-hand not second-, or third-, or fourth-, or
fifth-hand; nor do you need to trust in any pastor or anything else. You need to go right to the Word of God. Its
the most important thing you can do because the Word of
God is the seed; its the sperma, which is the Greek word
for seed, of God Himself that will recreate the Son of God
in you. (18) I testify unto every man that heareth
the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man
shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the
plagues which are written in this book. God doesnt
want His seed polluted by men. He doesnt want us to
waste our time with a lot of dead religion that doesnt bring
143
forth Jesus. For that reason, a lot of people will not be in

the Bride because they have trusted in man. They have not
gone to the seed; they have not sown it in their heart. God
is giving us a two-edged sword here in the Word of God,
which will conquer every enemy. It will conquer Satan himself. No enemy can stand against this sword, this weapon,
but He says that you have to use it. (Rom.8:13) If by
the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye
shall live. You have to take up that sword and use it.
You can pray for Gods help; Hell be with you in all of
this, but Hes the One, by His Holy Spirit, Who says, You
need to do this. Take the sword and dont add to it; dont
pollute or dilute His Word with a lot of goofy stuff that comes
from people. Its no help; its a hindrance and He warns us
that theres a curse on this. (Rev.22:18) I testify unto
every man that heareth the words of the prophecy
of this book, If any man shall add unto them, God
shall add unto him the plagues which are written
in this book: (19) and if any man shall take away
from the words of the book of this prophecy, God
shall take away his part from the tree of life, and
out of the holy city (You definitely wouldnt be part of
the Bride that way. The Holy City is the Bride.), which are
written in this book. We want to make sure that were
not impressed with mens rules, mens regulations, mens
thinking and ideas all these things that pollute what the
Kings chamberlain gives because nothing but what He
gives will empower us to be in the Bride.
Son of the Handmaid or the Freewoman
There is a strict warning to us in Galatians, chapters
144
four and five. Many people like to add their thoughts, their
rules, their regulations. Its called putting Gods people
under the Law, whether its the Law of the Old Testament,
or the law of man, or the law of religion. If we cant find it
in the New Testament, we should throw it out because we
need nothing but what the Holy Spirit is giving. We dont
want to add things that make us feel self-righteous because
weve done this or that.
Paul speaks about the manifestation of sonship in Gods
people to a group who were in that situation: (Gal.4:19)
My little children, of whom I am again in travail
until Christ be formed in you. How could they have
lost the manifestation of Christ in them? Well, they did it
by seeking to be justified by the Law, even though, obviously, the New Covenant means that the first one passed
away. This is exactly what the book of Hebrews says and
what Paul says in 2 Corinthians chapter three. Paul says
that if we dont know it, its because we have a blinder over
our eyes. When ministers add the Old Covenant to the
New Covenant, if we dont know that the Old Covenant has
passed away, then we let people drag us back under the
Old Covenant rules and regulations to make us feel justified. But in the New Covenant, the letter of the Old Covenant separates us from Christ and, if were separated from
Christ, were definitely not going to be in the Bride or the
Man-child.
(Gal.5:3) Yea, I testify again to every man that
receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do
the whole law. So we see that if your ministers or your
religion put you under any part of the Law, you have to
keep the whole Law. Thats the bad part about it. (4) Ye
are severed from Christ, ye who would be justi-
145
fied by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.

Were also told in chapter four that not only are you severed from Christ and fallen away from grace, but youre not
in the Bride. Youre in the handmaid. It says, (Gal.4:21)
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye
not hear the law? I want to tell you again that the Law
of the Old Testament is a covenant God did not make with
you. Please remember that God never made the Old Covenant with you.
You dont have to figure out what part youre under because He refused to make that with the Gentiles.
(Psa.147:19) He showeth his word unto Jacob, His
statues and his ordinances unto Israel. (20) He
hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his
ordinances, they have not known them. He didnt
do so with any other nation but Israel. Find out what is in
the New Testament and do not add to it with another covenant that God did not make with you. (Gal.4:22) For
it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by
the handmaid, and one by the freewoman. (23)
Howbeit the [son] by the handmaid is born after
the flesh; but the [son] by the freewoman [is born]
through promise. (24) Which things contain an allegory: for these [women] are two covenants; one
from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar. Notice the handmaid is representing those that desire to be under the Law, to be justified
by the Law and those who have to keep the whole Law in
order to do it. (25) Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in
Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now
is: for she is in bondage with her children. If you
go under the Law, it doesnt matter if you are a perfect Jew
146
and keep all the Law. You are still a son of the handmaid.
(26) But the Jerusalem that is above is free,
which is our mother. Hes talking about the New Jerusalem that is being born from above. Were born out of
heaven. (Joh.3:3) Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except one be born anew (or from above), he cannot see the kingdom of God. This is our mother, which
is what? The wife! This is the Bride were speaking about.
(Gal.4:27) For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren
that bearest not; Break forth and cry, thou that
travailest not: For more are the children of the
desolate than of her that hath the husband. Its so
true. There are more people under the Law either the
law of religion, or the Law of the Old Covenant, or mans
law, than there are in the Bride. (28) Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. Isaac
was born of the Bride. He was the fruit of the Bride and
the Bride cannot be under any part of the Law and still be
the Bride. (29) But as then he that was born after
the flesh persecuted him [that was born] after the
Spirit, so also it is now. (30) Howbeit what saith
the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son:
for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with
the son of the freewoman. The son of the freewoman
is the Bride; the other is a concubine. There is a difference.
A much higher position of authority and rank belongs
to the Bride, just as Sarah was over Hagar. Abraham told
Sarah, Shes in your hands; do whatever you want with
her (Genesis 16:6). Thats the way it was and thats the
way its still going to be. (31) Wherefore, brethren, we
are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman. So we see its very important, if were going to be
147
in the Bride, to be free from all the things that are added,
that are not the Holy Spirit. The parable is clearly telling us
that we need nothing else.
This is not to say that the Old Covenant isnt valuable.
Its super-valuable, not as a covenant, but as a parable, as
a type and a shadow. However, unless we translate those
things as the apostles did and as Jesus did when they
brought them into the New Covenant, they have no real
value, because the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth
life (2Co.3:6). Nice stories are fine, but to see the parable
that the story is making, the real point that its making, is
important to us, because what was written naturally to the
natural Jew is only written spiritually to the spiritual Jew:
(1Co.10:11) Now these things happened unto them
admonition (they are for types and shadows), upon
whom the ends of the ages are come. So if we want
to be in the Bride, we cannot be under the law of men or
under a law of a covenant that does not exist and was never
made with us. Thats very important. Since the Holy Spirit
takes the New Testament to dress us up with the works of
a disciple of Christ, its very important that we walk in the
works of our New Covenant and that we dont get under a
law seeking to be justified.
Different Wedding Garments
Here is another detail about the Bride: (Rev.19:8)
And it was given unto her that she should array
herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine
linen is the righteous acts of the saints. We just noted in Galatians chapters four and five that the acts of the
148
Law are no longer righteous acts of the saints. First of all,

youre rebelling against the covenant God gave to you, in
order to keep a covenant God did not give to you. So, basically, you dont have a covenant in that case. Hes telling us
here that the Bride has become ready because shes arrayed
herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure. The Greek word
used for bright there is lampros. This linen is not just
white, its lampros, bright; it shines like a lamp. She had
to be dressed up with a wedding garment and her wedding
attire was this lampros garment.
Then were told about others who are invited to the marriage ceremony, the marriage supper: (9) And he saith
unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. This is
not talking about the Bride. The word bidden is kale,
or called; invited. What kind of garment do these people have on? Well, they are the army that follows the Lord
on white horses. (14) And the armies which are in
heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed
in fine linen, white (here the word is leukos) [and]
pure. Those who are invited are not the Bride because she
cannot be invited to her own wedding. They have a leukos
garment, while the Bride has a lampros garment, which is
the righteous acts of the saints.
What determines righteous acts? Our Covenant does.
What is commanded of us in our Covenant, God will do;
thats why its called the Good News. Our part is faith,
believing what He says about us. His part is fulfilling it.
We have no power to be holy in ourselves. It has to come
from God. We can only be what we are and what we are is
a problem. That is our problem. So what do we do? Even
so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin,
149
but alive unto God in Christ Jesus (Rom.6:11); and

the Holy Spirit does the rest. We obey Him in reckoning
ourselves to be dead unto sin, not counting ourselves as
sinners saved by grace. Were not sinners; weve been
saved from sin, made free from sin (18). If you sin, you
confess it and go right back to the righteous state, reckoned
by God as righteous. If we want to be in the Bride, we want
to have on this bright, lampros garment because of our
works being in agreement with our covenant with God.
The Holy Spirit takes the Word of the New Testament and
dresses us up with the actions and the works of the Holy
Spirit, the works of God. This is what makes us beautiful to
the Lord, to be dressed up with this.
Polluted Garments: Part Faith, Part Works
We have a good example in Deuteronomy 22 of what we
dont want in our garment. We need to look at these types
and shadows as just that. What do they point to? (2Co.3:6)
For the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. A
Jew who was under the letter of the Law didnt dare depart
from the letter of the Law when they were under that covenant, but that covenant does not exist anymore; it will not
cover them. There is only one covenant that exists now. Jesus said, Except one be born ofwater and the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (Joh.3:5).
He also said, Except one be born anew (from above),
he cannot see the kingdom of God (3). Theres only
one way Jesus is the way! There isnt any other covenant;
thats a false doctrine out there.
In the Sundry Laws given to individuals, it is written:
(Deu.22:11) Thou shalt not wear a mingled stuff,
150
wool and linen together. In other words, no polluted

garment not part Kingdom and part world. What would
that be? That would be works, as we saw. That would be
part works that are acceptable to God, beautiful to God
and part world. We dont want a polluted garment. Wool
is positive in this sense. You have a wool garment when
the beast has been put to death; the wool being from the
lamb, which represents the child of God. We present our
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God
(Rom.12:1). We present this old life to be crucified and the
wool here represents the life of a believer whose flesh has
been crucified, cut off, put to death. The linen represents
something else. Linen is created from flax, which is a plant
that grows out of the earth. It is not acceptable to mix
that in with the wool. On the other hand, we have another
parable given among the laws given to priests in the inner
court, where different attributes of wool and linen are used:
(Eze.44:17) And it shall be that, when they enter in
at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed
with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon
them, while they minister in the gates of the inner
court, and within. (18) They shall have linen tires
upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches
upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves
with [anything that causeth] sweat. This parable
is obvious: As Gods New Testament priests, we cannot
enter into His presence if we are sweating. This means that
mans works will not be permitted to get us in His audience
or favor or benefits. Also, only the white, linen garment
of righteous works is acceptable in His sight. (Rev.19:8)
And it was given unto her that she should array
herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine
151
linen is the righteous acts of the saints. We see here

His works in us, not our works.
An Acceptable Sacrifice
Go back and study the story about Cain and Abel. Cain
brought a sacrifice that grew from the earth and his sacrifice was not acceptable to God (Genesis 4:5). Yet Abel
brought a lamb from his flock and slaughtered it, offering
the lamb and the fat as a sacrifice to the Lord and it pleased
Him (44:4). What did that represent? It represents us, our
crucified life.
Some people say, Wait a minute! Jesus is the only sacrifice. Yes, but Jesus sacrificed His life so that we could
sacrifice our life. Some say it was so that we wouldnt lose
our life. Thats exactly right and true, as well. We dont
want to lose our spiritual life, but our carnal life we have
to lose. Jesus said, For whosoever would save his life
shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for
my sake shall find it (Mat.16:25). It is the sacrifice of
Jesus that enables us to give up our life because we were
crucified with Him. When He died, we died.
Do you know that when Adam died, we died? In the
loins of Adam were the seed of all mankind. When he
died, everyone died. When Jesus died, our old man died
and when Jesus was resurrected, we were resurrected. We
claim the end from the beginning. We thank God that its
all been done, its all been accomplished. And because of
our faith, the Holy Spirit empowers us. So we see here that
we dont want to be like Cain and add our works that come
from the earth to the works that come from the crucified
life, since only the crucified life is acceptable unto the Lord.
152
Works of Faith
Another place were told about a polluted garment
is here: (Isa.64:4) For from of old men have not
heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the
eye seen a God besides thee, who worketh for him
that waiteth for him. Notice that its talking about
works here. It is God Himself who worketh all things
after the counsel of his will (Eph.1:11) in us according to his good pleasure (9). It is Gods works in us!
Some people say, Youre not saved by works. You
are saved by Gods works. Youre not saved by self-works.
Youre not saved by works of the Law. Youre not saved
by any form of self-justification. But God puts His works
in you when you walk by faith in His Word. So nobodys
ever known a god besides this God Who works for us as
we wait for Him. Our problem is that were very impulsive.
Weve been trained all our life to just do what comes into
our mind. We dont wait on God; we dont consider. We
dont see if its Scriptural. We dont slow down enough to
hear His voice. (Isa.40:31) But they that wait for the
Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount
up with wings as eagles. These are the people who
will overcome this world, as the Bible says. Thats what eagles wings do they overcome the world.
Nobody has a god like our God, (Isa.64:4) who
worketh for him that waiteth for him. (5) Thou
meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness (Amen! This is the righteous acts of the saints were
talking about, what the Bride is dressed up in, making her
beautiful to the Lord.), those that remember thee in
thy ways. Jesus is The Way. In the Book of Acts, the
153
Christian movement was called The Way, which is the steps

of Jesus, Who is the Word in the New Testament. We are
walking in His steps that He laid down in His commands.
We have to remember the Lords way. We wait on Him and
we remember His way, to walk in it. (5) Behold, thou
wast wroth, and we sinned: in them [have we
been] of long time; and shall we be saved? Theyre
in the works of the flesh, not spending time putting on the
wedding garment that beautiful, brilliant, bright garment. (6) For we are all become as one that is unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment. All of their self-righteousness, all of their
uncleanness is as filthy rags, a polluted garment. Jude tells
us that we should be hating even the garment spotted by the flesh (Jud.23). A garment can be spotted by
the flesh because the flesh is your works. If your works are
flesh, then your garment is spotted. If your works are righteous, pure and holy, then you have that lampros garment,
or at least a leukos garment, a white garment.
Obviously, the Bride has the cleanest garment, the greatest garment. Since they were in their sins for a long time,
their garment was a polluted garment. As Christians, we
have a right to walk in holiness through faith, but, if we
walk in our sins and not by faith, well have a polluted garment and will not be in the Bride. Im sorry, its just not
Biblical. (Isa.64:6) And we all do fade as a leaf;
and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
Our iniquities take us away from God, from the position
that we would have as a believer in God and one in whom
the Bride is manifested. (7) And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to
take hold of thee; for thou hast hid thy face from
154
us, and hast consumed us by means of our iniquities. (Jud.23) Hating even the garment spotted
by the flesh. We have to hate all these little things that
spoil our garment, that keep us from being in the Bride.
The most important thing, of course, is that we walk
by faith that the Lord has already delivered us from our
sins and nailed them upon that tree. He has delivered us
and made us free from sin (Rom.6:18). (11) Even so
reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but
alive unto God in Christ Jesus. (Gal.2:20) I have
been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I
that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that [life]
which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the
faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me,
and gave himself up for me. Thats the word of faith
that the apostle Paul taught us.
So we have to remember that its not by our works that
we get to be in the Bride; its by His works, that His works
are involved when we walk by faith in Him. We have to
always remember that because, otherwise, we get anxious
and troubled. Anxiety will just keep us from doing the works
of God because anxiety is the opposite of faith. God doesnt
want us to be anxious or even walk under condemnation.
He wants us to walk by faith in His promises, so that the
power of the Holy Spirit can rise up in us and cause us to
be what we could never be otherwise. This is the secret that
God is revealing to disciples who love Him and want to be
pleasing unto Him.
Salvation in Spirit, Soul and Body
There are many wonderful parables in the Old Testa-
155
ment. If you slow down to think on them and you ask the
Holy Spirit to reveal them to you, He will show you the Spirit behind them. Here is another one that speaks about this
cleansing: (Lev.14:8) And he that is to be cleansed
(he in his polluted garment, his polluted works, his sins)
shall wash his clothes (Our works are our clothes and
we wash them with the washing of the Word of God, as
Paul calls it.), and shave off all his hair. Why is that?
Because 1 Corinthians 11 speaks of hair as a sign of submission. In this case, its talking about a sign of submission to
the world. In Pauls case, its talking about submission to
our husband. Hair can be both positive and negative. In
this case, its negative.
So hell wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, his
submission to the world, of the flesh. (8) And bathe
himself in water; and he shall be clean: and after
that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell
outside his tent seven days. What tent is He talking
about? Hes talking about the ultimate tent here. What tent
do we get after the seven days? We get the new tent, our new
body. We know that for the Bride, the last seven days is the
Marriage Feast, in which the Bride and the Groom feast on
the Word. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom
(Joh.3:29) and the Bridegroom is the Man-child.
According to type, the exact same thing is going to
happen again. The Lord, Who will be fully manifested
in His Man-child, is going to fellowship, teach and raise
up His Bride during the last seven days, which are seven
years. A day and a year are the same, according to Daniels
70th week. After that seven days-years, we get a new body.
Salvation is spirit, soul and body. Salvation is Christ in you
spirit, soul and body. And we will have a body like unto
156
His glorious body that 1 John chapter three speaks about.

That He Might Present Us
Also, Ephesians is very plain concerning the Bride.
(Eph.5:24) But as the church is subject to Christ,
so [let] the wives also [be] to their husbands in everything. We need to be subject to Christ in everything.
The natural is true, too, that wives need to be subject to
their husbands, but we have to be subject to our Husband,
as the Church is subject to Christ. The true called-out
ones, which is what church means, are subject to Christ.
(25) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ
also loved the church, and gave himself up for it;
(26) that he might sanctify it (Which means separate it, to separate it from the works of the world, from the
garment that is spotted by the flesh. Sanctification is separation unto God.), having cleansed it by the washing
of water with the word, (27) that he might present the church to himself a glorious [church,] not
having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that
it should be holy and without blemish. This is what
has been provided for all of us.
We were sanctified at the cross, so why is the Lord saying this as though it could happen in the future? Well, just
because we were sanctified at the cross, doesnt mean we
necessarily walk in it by faith. (1Th.4:3) For this is the
will of God, [even] your sanctification. So we
see that this will be a future manifestation. What we received at the cross has to be manifested through our faith
and through the cleansing of the washing of water with
the word. Thats what hes speaking about here. Hes not
157
talking about what we have at the cross; hes talking about

manifestation.
Notice, that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by
the washing of water with the word. This is where we cooperate with God, in order to be the spotless and blemishless Bride. Hes offering this to the Church here, but hes
saying might, that He might do it. Not all of the Church
will cooperate with Him in this process. Some to more and
some to less of an extent will cooperate and receive what
the Lord already provided for them. (Amo.3:3) Shall
two walk together, except they have agreed? We
need to cooperate so that He can finish this sanctifying
process in us and cleanse us from the polluted garment,
putting on us that righteous, beautiful garment. Is He going to be able to present the whole Church to Himself? No,
because the Bible tells us thats not going to happen. However, it is provided for; it is there for you. (Eph.5:27)
Not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but
that it should be holy and without blemish. This is
Gods provision for us: that we might be holy and without
blemish.
What does the Bible say for us to do to cooperate with
that? (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises,
beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all
defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness
in the fear of God. Thats what the Lord provided for us.
Every one of us can take advantage of that and have the
Lords washing of His Word to cleanse our garments to be
prepared for Him.
158
Many Virgins, But Only One Bride

Because Esther took advantage of the fact that all she
needed came from the Holy Spirit, represented in type by
Hegai, the Kings chamberlain, she didnt have anything
but what was appointed of Him. She wanted nothing added
or taken away. As the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit knows
exactly the heart of God, so He knows how to dress us up.
Its His job to manifest Jesus Christ, Who is the Word of
God, in us, to get us prepared for this marriage.
Esther received the favor of the chamberlain, as we already read, because she pleased him in the works that she
was doing, in desiring the right things. (Est.2:15) And
Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that
looked upon her. (16) So Esther was taken unto
king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth
month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh
year of his reign. We are now in the seventh year. Weve
already started the seventh year, or the 7000th year, of His
reign.
Notice that Esther was one of many virgins and, if we go
to Song of Solomon, she was one of many virgins, queens
and concubines. In Psalm 45, there were also the virgins who
were not chosen to be the Bride. Its the same with the Church
today. Although weve all been sanctified and perfected
at the cross (For by one offering he hath perfected
for ever them that are sanctified (Rom.10:14)) and
its available to us when we walk by faith, not all are going
to be pleasing to the Kings chamberlain. Being pleasing
unto Him is being pleasing to God because He is the
Spirit of God. (Est.2:17) And the king loved Esther
above all the women, and she obtained favor and
159
kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so

that he set the royal crown upon her head, and
made her queen instead of Vashti. Vashti, as youll
remember, represents the Lords Old Testament Bride, the
one who was called to come into the presence of the King,
but refused, just as she refused Jesus invitation and was
rejected, reprobated and hardened in heart.
The Bride Is Chosen Now We Can Rest
(18) Then the king made a great feast unto all
his princes and his servants, even Esthers feast;
and he made a release (the word release here means
rest) to the provinces, and gave gifts. The rest
that the Lord promises to give unto us, which the Jews did
not enter into, is referred to in Hebrews chapters three and
four. We enter into this rest by ceasing from our works and
believing the promises. (Heb.4:3) For we who have
believed do enter into that rest. The Lord is offering this wonderful rest, the rest from your enemies, the rest
from your problems, from the curse, etc. Its a rest because
the Lord has already provided everything.
Obviously, for the Bride, everything is provided.
(Est.2:18) Then the king made a great feast unto
all his princes and his servants, even Esthers
feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and
gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.
Theres never been a time like that last seven years of the
Marriage Feast, when Gods going to hand out such great
gifts never in history! Hes going to be celebrating with
the Bride, just as John the Baptist said: He that hath the
bride is the bridegroom (Joh.3:29). The Man-child
160
Jesus was leading, teaching and training the Bride. In this

case, we know that Mordecai, whose name means little
boy or little man, was the Man-child. He led Esther to
this place to be chosen of the King.
Senator Mordecai
(Est.2:19) And when the virgins were gathered
together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the kings gate. The Kings gate was the place
of government, the place where not only the leaders of the
nations underneath the conquering king represented their
nations, but it was the place of judgment, judges, counselors and so on. (Est.1:14) And the next unto him (the
king) were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish,
Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes
of Persia and Media, who saw the kings face, and
sat first in the kingdom. The princes of these nations
were before the King because they represented their nations. When he gave commands, they carried them out.
Do you know who was over the kingdom of Israel?
(Est.2:21) In those days, while Mordecai was
sitting in the kings gate. It was Mordecai and the
Jews were called the people of Mordecai (Est.3:6).
He had a position of authority in the Kingdom, yet a lot
of people dont realize that. As a matter of fact, if we go
back to the verse, we read, There was a certain Jew
in Shushan the palace (Est.2:5). Mordecai was in the
palace! He represented Gods people Israel.
161
Authority from the King

Well find out later that Mordecai was the one who defended Gods people, the one who had the Bride intercede
for Gods people and the one who exercised authority over
Gods people, when that authority was given to him by the
king. We know that God gave authority to the Beast to come
against His people, but then He gave authority to Mordecai and to the Bride to save them. Its an awesome story of
Gods power to save His people in the days to come and an
awesome story about what it takes to qualify to be in the
Bride.
Its important for you to know that youre not going to
fly away just because you accepted Jesus as your personal
Savior and youre not going to be in the Bride just because
of that. Its going to be because you have used the gifts He
has given you by the Holy Spirit. You need nothing but
what the Holy Spirit has to offer nothing else nothing
of man, nothing of religion. We need to read the New Testament diligently to find out what has been provided for us.
CHAPTER NINE
Refusing to Bow to the Beast
Weve been looking at the characteristics of the Bride
and its pretty exciting what the Lord is planning on doing
here. Hes going to perfect a people. Hes going to do what
He planned from the foundation of the world. Its going
to be His work. Nobody can take credit for any of it because its not possible that we can do this of ourselves. It is
Gods grace thats coming forth and Hes showing us what
to put our faith in. The reason we study these things is not
to make people anxious because they feel they cant do it,
but so that they will know what to exercise their faith for.
Many people are deceived. They believe that the Bride is
already prepared, that there is a spotless and blemishless
Bride because of the sacrifice of Jesus, instead of the
manifestation of that sacrifice. What were seeing is that
God is really going to do this; Hes going to have a witness
in the earth of these wonderful things.
Maturing to Sonship
Weve discovered that not only is this Bride coming
forth, but that God is raising up a new leadership, a Manchild ministry in these days thats going to be the firstfruits
of those to walk in the steps of Jesus Christ. Actually, Jesus
said in John 16 that He was going to come again as a baby, a
Man-child, born to a woman. We read in Revelation 12 that
the Man-child is born at the beginning of the Tribulation
Period and that the Man-child leads the woman through
the wilderness. In studying the Book of Esther, weve dis-
Refusing To Bow To the Beast
163
covered that Mordecai in Hebrew means little man and

in Persian means little boy. Persia was the Beast kingdom
that he was under at the time. Both of those mean Manchild.
Weve learned in Esther 2:5 that Mordecai was in
Shushan the palace. He wasnt just a commoner, he was
actually a ruler, somebody under the king who probably
had to do with ruling over Gods people. In the same chapter, verses 19-20, we learned he also sat in the kings gate,
which was the place of government, the place where the
rulers of the conquered nations gathered before the king.
I would like to point out to you that Mordecai raised up
Esther as the Bride and he nourished her, the original
word says. He prepared her for this time and he continued
to guide her steps all the way through the Book of Esther,
all the way through their tribulation.
Also, Hegai, the kings chamberlain, was very pleased
with Esther and she required nothing but what Hegai
provided. Of course, we need nothing but what the Holy
Spirit provides. (Rom.8:14) For as many as are led
by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Now
let me tell you who this Bride is and who this Man-child
is. These are the sons of God for whom the creation has
been awaiting, the fullness of the sonship of Jesus Christ
manifested in His people. In fact, the Shulamite in the Song
of Solomon, the Bride who was chosen from among all the
fair virgins of the kingdom, was called his perfect one
(Song of Solomon 5:2). God is going to perfect, to mature
His people.
164
The Man-Child Leads the Bride to the Throne

Well, Esther was chosen out of all the fair virgins of the
kingdom because the king loved Esther above all the
women, and she obtained favor and kindness in
his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set
the royal crown upon her head, and made her
Queen (Est.2:17). Praise God! But even then she was under the guidance of Mordecai and we discover that here:
(20) Esther did the commandment of Mordecai,
like as when she was brought up with him. So we
see that the job of the Man-child is to raise up the Bride
and guide her.
He is literally the head of the Bride, much like the False
Prophet is the head of the Harlot. There is a corporate body
of apostate people, called the Harlot, and the head of that
body is its so-called Christian leadership, which is leading
it astray. The Bride, as weve seen, is Jerusalem and, as you
know, David was the head of Jerusalem. When Jesus came,
He sat upon the throne of David and He was the head of the
Bride. John the Baptist said, He that hath the bride is
the bridegroom (Joh.3:29), as he saw Jesus leading the
disciples. That brings us up to date, somewhat, but theres
much more to the Book of Esther.
Purpose of the Beast
(Est.3:1) After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the
Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above
all the princes that were with him. These princes were
the people who ruled over the kingdoms over which Aha-
165
suerus ruled and we discovered that among those princes

was Mordecai, who was over the people of God. Now we see
that Mordecai and Esther are two entities whom God uses
to save the rest of the people of God from destruction by the
Beast. The Beast that was to destroy them is represented
here by Haman. Just as Mordecai represents a corporate
body of people, so Haman represents a corporate body.
Why would God advance Haman above the other princes? Because throughout history, God has raised up a Beast
kingdom over His people in times when His people were in
apostasy. Why is God calling His people out of the Harlot?
(Rev.18:4) Come forth, my people, out of her.
Its because there is such an apostasy in the Church these
days. Theyve turned away from the Word; theyve turned
after religions. They are in apostasy and God is calling His
people out of that.
This is what the Tribulation is raised up for. Every time
Gods people have become a harlot, God has raised up a
Beast to come against them: from Egypt, to Assyria, Babylon,
Persia, Greece, Rome and, now, the end-time Rome. Were
seeing a revived Roman Empire being raised up, worldwide
this time. God is raising up the Beast entity again, for the
purpose of sanctifying His people and bringing them to
repentance. Were going to see in the coming chapters how
this raising up of Haman, with his authority to destroy the
people of God, is what brings Gods people to repentance.
Bowing to the Beast
(Est.3:2) And all the kings servants, that were
in the kings gate (Thats the place where government
was, where all the representatives of the nations saw the
166
face of the King.), bowed down, and did reverence to

Haman (He represents the Beast.); for the king had so
commanded concerning him. He had given him authority. People dont think that the Lord gives authority to
evil in the earth, but He does and He permits it for the purpose of bringing repentance. (Job2:10) What? shall
we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we
not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his
lips. God does bring evil against His people as a chastening and a method to bring them to repentance.
So all the Kings servants who were in the Kings
gate bowed down to the Beast, But Mordecai bowed
not down, nor did him reverence (Est.3:2). This
is something we find all through the Scriptures this
particular entity right here that refuses to bow down to the
Beast. We see the example of Joseph, for instance, who was
sold into bondage by the Harlot, Potiphars wife, and came
to the position of authority. We see the example of Jesus,
who didnt bow down to the Beast; and Moses, who didnt
bow down; and Daniel all these are types of the Manchild, who refuses to bow down to the Beast.
Nobody Likes a Tattle-Tale
(3) Then the kings servants, that were in the
kings gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the kings commandment? (4) Now it came
to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he
hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman,
to see whether Mordecais matters would stand:
for he had told them that he was a Jew. Who is this
accusing Mordecai to the Beast? You remember through-
167
out history how the apostate brethren of Joseph persecuted and came against him and sold him into the hand of the
Beast; and the apostate brethren of Jesus, the leadership
of apostate Israel, accused Him to the Beast. Were seeing
the same thing here; history keeps on repeating. In another
parable, Moses was accused by the leadership of Israel because he was bringing persecution and trouble upon the
people for his stand of not bowing down to Pharaoh. He
was not humbling himself to this beast.
Were not talking about rebellion against Constitutional,
political authority here. Were talking about rebellion in
terms of not bowing down religiously, of not worshipping
the Beast. Today, whether Christians will admit it or not,
there is a spirit of worship of the Beast and there has been for
many centuries. Patriotism, pledging allegiance, all these
things that saints in past days would never have thought
of doing, Gods people today think nothing of. They dont
understand that this is a kingdom of the world and that
all the kingdoms of the world are evil, fallen and wicked.
Theres only one Kingdom thats not the Kingdom of God
which we should be representing.
Historic Enmity Rekindled
(5) And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed
not down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. (6) But he thought scorn to
lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made
known to him the people of Mordecai: wherefore
Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were
throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus,
even the people of Mordecai. Notice that the head
168
over all Gods true people is represented here by Mordecai.

In the rest of the story, Mordecai and Esther save all of
these Jews from the Beast. Does that mean that all of what
we loosely call Christians are going to be saved from the
Beast? No, but the true Jews, those who are circumcised
in heart, not in flesh, are all going to be saved. All Israel
(Romans 11:26) is going to be saved everybody who is
grafted into the olive tree called all Israel. Theyll be saved
from the Beast in one form or another. We wont get into
that right now, but we see here that Mordecai is one of the
princes, among others, who are accusing him.
Apostate Church Leadership Replaced
In Ezekiel 17, I shared a revelation the Lord gave me
concerning the Beast, Babylon, bringing Gods people into
bondage. At this particular time of writing, we can see very
easily that Israel is under the thumb of the Great Eagle. As
a matter of fact, the Great Eagle is standing by Israel in any
step that Israel takes, regarding the Palestinian matter. Israel is like just another state of the United States.
Also, we are seeing the government of the United States
taking steps to take authority over Christian ministries
more and more. U.S. Senator Charles Grassley made a step
to bring six of the leading ministries in the U.S. under investigation because of their finances and because their leadership is living pretty extravagantly with the donations. Im
not saying thats not a good thing but, obviously, its not
going to stop with the people who are abusing their position and robbing Gods people. We know that when Babylon conquered the nations, it not only brought apostate Israel into bondage, but they brought people like Daniel and
169
the Hebrews, who were appointed people of God in their

time, under the thumb of the Beast kingdom.
When we talk about Mordecai, were talking about the
good leadership, but what about the bad leadership that
was accusing him? (Eze.17:2) Son of man, put forth a
riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; (3) and say, Thus saith the Lord God: A great
eagle with great wings and long pinions, full of
feathers, which had divers colors, came unto Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar: (4) he cropped
off the topmost of the young twigs thereof, and
carried it unto a land of traffic; he set it in a city of
merchants. This represents the Great Eagle of America,
bringing the leadership of Gods people into bondage. In
the natural, its going to happen; Israel will be more and
more under the dominion of the United States.
Something else is also happening and, that is, of course,
that spiritual Israel is going to be brought more and more
under the dominion of the Beast government. In fact, it
says so as we keep reading. (11) Moreover the word of
the Lord came unto me, saying, (12) Say now to
the rebellious house. Why is it that God is permitting the Beast to conquer and bring under their authority
the spiritual people of God and the letter people of God,
the natural Jews? It is because they are rebellious houses.
The letter Israel is a type and shadow for spiritual Israel.
Theyve rebelled against the covenant that God has given.
(12) Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not
what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the
king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the
king thereof, and the princes thereof, and brought
them to him to Babylon. So the king and the princes
170
of both spiritual and natural Israel are coming under the

dominion of Babylon. The next seven verses go on to talk
about a covenant that was broken in the middle, exactly
as we would expect if it was Daniels 70-week covenant of
the end-time broken in the middle. God also rebukes them
for breaking His covenant and then He talks about another
leadership that Hes raising up.
We just saw the apostate leadership, the king and the
princes, brought under the dominion of Babylon, but He
talks about another leadership here. (22) Thus saith
the Lord God: I will also take of the lofty top of
the cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the
topmost of its young twigs a tender one, and I will
plant it upon a high and lofty mountain. Thats
referring to the mountain of the Kingdom of God, Mount
Zion, which is a type and shadow of that, too. This was the
same description (cropping off the topmost twigs) that
God gave in verse four here, referring to the leadership of
Israel. So, once again, He is talking about a leadership, the
topmost twig. (23) In the mountain of the height
of Israel will I plant it; and it shall bring forth
boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar:
and under it shall dwell all birds of every wing; in
the shade of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
(24) And all the trees of the field shall know that I,
the Lord, have brought down the high tree, have
exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree,
and have made the dry tree to flourish: I, the Lord,
have spoken and have done it. God is bringing down a
leadership over the true people of God and Hes raising up
a new leadership. This is just as it was in the days of Jesus,
when the apostate leadership persecuted the Man-child,
171
comprised of Jesus and His disciples. In the same way, in

the end-time, God is going to be bringing down the high
and the lofty and raising up the lowly to take that position.
He is raising up those who will walk in the steps of the Lord
Jesus, the Man-child of Revelation 12.
God Raises Up a New Leadership
So we see here two groups in captivity. In the time of
Esther, there were two groups in captivity and the one persecuted the other, just as the False Prophet in Israel, the
Sanhedrin, persecuted the Man-child ministry. We see the
same thing with Mordecai and these servants of the king
who accused him to the Beast. Jesus was accused to the
Beast by the corporate False Prophet of Israel.
Also, we can go to Daniel and see, once again, that
when Babylon took Gods people into captivity, there
was the good thrown in with the bad. (Dan.1:1) In the
third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah
came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon (the Great
Eagle) unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. (2) And
the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his
hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God;
and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the
house of his god: and he brought the vessels into
the treasure-house of his god. (3) And the king
spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs,
that he should bring in [certain] of the children
of Israel, even of the seed royal and of the nobles;
(4) youths in whom was no blemish, but well-favored, and skilful in all wisdom, and endued with
knowledge, and understanding science, and such
172
as had ability to stand in the kings palace. There

it is! These are people whom God is raising up who are
spotless and blemishless and theyre not equated with the
Jewish king and his princes, who were also taken captive.
Thats the way it was with Daniel. (6) Now among these
were, of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah,
Mishael, and Azariah. (7) And the prince of the eunuchs gave names unto them: unto Daniel he gave
[the name of] Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, [of]
Shadrach; and to Mishael, [of] Meshach; and to
Azariah, [of] Abednego.
Then came the proving of these four because they
wouldnt be defiled by eating the kings food. They wouldnt
partake of the kings dainties and, since they wouldnt be
defiled, they also didnt bow down to the image of the Beast.
Its important to know that what we eat is what we are and
if we partake of a beastly doctrine that enables our flesh to
rule, we will become a member of the Beast. Our flesh is a
member of the Beast kingdom it is an enemy of God; its
at enmity with your spirit, the Scripture teaches. Partaking
of fleshly doctrines is partaking of the Beasts dainties.
Anyway, there was nothing but good said about these four
Hebrews. (17) Now as for these four youths, God
gave them knowledge and skill in all learning
and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all
visions and dreams. (20) And in every matter
of wisdom and understanding, concerning which
the king inquired of them, he found them ten times
better than all the magicians and enchanters that
were in all his realm. (21) And Daniel continued
even unto the first year of king Cyrus.

The Image of the Beast

What we see in the Book of Daniel twice, in chapters
3 and 6 is exactly what we see concerning the accusations against Mordecai, the Man-child, by the other leaders. What happened in Jesus day, when He was accused by
the other rabbis, the apostates (and accused to the Beast,
too, by the way), we see also in Daniel. The three Hebrews
represented the people who would not bow down. Daniel
was obviously in leadership, but the three Hebrews refused
to bow down to the image of the Beast, in Daniel chapter
three.
It was the image of the Beast because it had the number of the Beast. (Dan.3:1) Nebuchadnezzar the king
made an image of gold, whose height was threescore (theres 6) cubits, and the breadth thereof
six cubits (theres 6-6): he set it up in the plain of
Dura. Dura means a circle, which reminds us of the
earth and, by the way, the Gematria for the earth or the
world is 600. So there you have a representation of the
world adding up to 666. Were talking about the image of
the Beast and its made up of, if we look carefully in chapter
two, all the peoples and all the kingdoms, one right after
another.
Now notice who was commanding the people to bow
down to this image: (4) Then the herald cried aloud,
To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and
languages. The word herald is the only Greek word
in this text and its the New Testament word for preacher. So we have apostate preachers over the people of God,
commanding them to bow down to the image of the Beast.
Not everybody bowed down, just as we saw with Morde-
174
cai. The other servants of the King who stood in the kings
gate bowed down. This was the leadership of the apostate
people of God, or the False Prophet. They bowed down to
Haman, but Mordecai, the Man-child, refused. We see that
they commanded them to bow down and the people all
bowed down, except for the three Hebrews. (8) Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near,
and brought accusation against the Jews. They
came under accusation because they refused to bow down
to the image of the Beast.
Of course, God saved them and brought a witness
through them of His power to save, even in the fiery furnace
that was heated seven times hotter, as in the seven years of
the Tribulation Period. Times is used in Revelation 12:14,
for instance, as in a time, times, and half a time, speaking
of years. So seven times here in the text speaks of the
Tribulation Period. The three Hebrews refused to bow
down. They served the king, they obeyed and submitted to
the government of the king, but when it came to bowing
down, they refused. And, of course, this is what the world is
going to demand. Theyre going to make their generic god
and everyone is going to have to serve it and be at peace
with others and not witness to others and so on.
We have another witness of Daniel himself, who was a
type of the Man-child. Daniel refused to bow down and the
same situation happened. There were others with him, who
were leaders, who accused him before the Beast: (Dan.6:1)
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be through-
175
out the whole kingdom; (2) and over them three

presidents, of whom Daniel was one (Throughout
the whole kingdom could be an application here of what
we loosely call the Kingdom of God.); that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the
king should have no damage. (3) Then this Daniel
was distinguished above the presidents and the
satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him;
and the king thought to set him over the whole
realm. (4) Then the presidents and the satraps
sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion
nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither
was there any error or fault found in him. Praise
God! Those were the false prophets who corresponded to
the false prophets in Jesus day, who sought occasion for
false witness against Jesus and, since He had committed
no sin, they had to falsely accuse Him. It was the same with
Daniel here.
Who was it then accusing Jesus? It was the false prophets, the false leaders. They were the head of the Harlot. How is the faithful city become a harlot!
(Isa.1:21). Gods people had become a harlot because
they had apostatized and were committing fornication with
the world. They were receiving the seed of the world, the
seed of the Beast kingdom. (Dan.6:5) Then said these
men, We shall not find any occasion against this
Daniel, except we find it against him concerning
the law of his God. (6) Then these presidents and
satraps assembled together to the king, and said
thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. (7) All
the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and
176
the satraps, the counsellors and the governors,

have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong interdict, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty
days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the
den of lions. In other words, Daniel only bowed down
to his God; he only asked of his God; he wasnt going to
treat the king or the Beast as a god. (8) Now, O king, establish the interdict, and sign the writing, that it
be not changed, according to the law of the Medes
and Persians, which altereth not. (9) Wherefore
king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.
(10) And when Daniel knew that the writing was
signed, he went into his house (now his windows
were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem;) and
he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and
prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did
aforetime. So he only knelt down to the God of Israel. He
refused to bow down to the image of the Beast.
(11) Then these men assembled together, and
found Daniel making petition and supplication
before his God. (12) Then they came near, and
spake before the king concerning the kings interdict: Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every
man that shall make petition unto any god or man
within thirty days, save unto thee, O king, shall
be cast into the den of lions? The king answered
and said, The thing is true, according to the law
of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
(13) Then answered they and said before the king,
That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the
177
interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. (14) Then the king, when
he heard these words, was sore displeased, and
set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down of the sun to rescue him.
Notice that it wasnt the Beast that wanted to destroy the
Man-child; it was his own brothers. Josephs brothers were
the ones who sold him into bondage to the Gentiles. And,
accordingly, Pilate wanted nothing to do with crucifying
what he called Jesus, this righteous man (Mat.27:24).
The apostates twisted his arm, exactly as they are doing
here. We are headed to the exact same time, when the false
leadership over Gods people is going to be used to persecute the true leadership. Although all of them are going to
be under the same Beast government rule, the leadership
of the apostate people of God, just as we saw with Mordecai, is going to bow down to the Beast. Its amazing! People
whom you and I have called Christians and thought were
Christians are part of a great falling away thats coming.
The 10 northern tribes worshipped the image of the beast
and were part of a great falling away. They bowed down to
the golden calf, or the image of a beast. Now the same thing
is happening to what we loosely call Christianity; they have
built their golden calf that theyre bowing down to. Its a
work of mans hands. It has nothing to do with God or His
Word that He created in the very beginning, as far as Christianity is concerned. Its something that they have made
themselves and because its their own, theyre going to want
to protect it and defend it and their livelihood along with it.
The Man-child ministry that is coming is going to be a
threat to that because of the truths that are going to come
forth, like they came out of Jesus. The Bible spoke about
178
Jesus, how He opened His mouth and things that were hidden from the foundation of the world were revealed. The
same kind of ministry is coming. Things that have been
hidden are going to be revealed but, also, things that have
been hidden in Gods people are going to be revealed by
this great falling away and by the apostates siding with the
Beast against their brethren. They are Judases, sons of perdition, false prophets.
The point here in Daniel is that he still refused to do
anything but bow down only to the real, true God, not to
just any generic god, not even to any god that they might
call Jesus. There are many religious images of Jesus that
are not Him at all. When we read the Bible, we see the true
Jesus and His crucified life. That contrasts with what we
see now in Christianity, with our national leaders being
hauled before the government to explain why it is that they
are living so lavishly and fleecing so many people. Thats
not walking in the steps of Jesus; thats not the crucified
life. These people are going to want to defend that lifestyle
and its a shame. But the reason God is sending the Beast is
not only because of the leadership, but also because of the
people who dont understand that they should not support
people who do such things. The crucified life that Jesus and
His disciples walked was a simple life without all the accoutrements of Babylon. They didnt have the fancy temple
and the big synagogues, but they had the truth. That was
part of the trial.
There is a great apostasy, a rebellion, in the church.
Theyre in love with the world and the things of the world
and the Bible says, If any man love the world, the
love of the Father is not in him (1Jn.2:15). God is
proving just who it is who loves Him. The Bride, in the
179
Song of Solomon, ran fanatically after the Bridegroom, so

much so that she surprised the other queens, virgins and
concubines. They thought that one Jesus was just as good
as another. But the other Jesuses are made by man. They
give Jesus a character thats contrary to Scripture, a contrary doctrine, and so on.
Well, Daniel wouldnt bow down, so he had to be thrown
into the lions den and, as you know, God preserved him.
God sent His angel. (Dan.6:18) Then the king went to
his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither
were instruments of music brought before him:
and his sleep fled from him. (19) Then the king
arose very early in the morning, and went in haste
unto the den of lions. (20) And when he came near
unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable
voice; the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel,
servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou
servest continually, able to deliver thee from the
lions? (21) Then said Daniel unto the king, O king,
live for ever. (22) My God hath sent his angel, and
hath shut the lions mouths, and they have not
hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was
found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I
done no hurt. (23) Then was the king exceeding
glad, and commanded that they should take
Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up
out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found
upon him, because he had trusted in his God. (24)
And the king commanded, and they brought those
men that had accused Daniel, and they cast them
into the den of lions, them, their children, and their
wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and
180
brake all their bones in pieces, before they came to

the bottom of the den. Thats very similar to Revelation
17:16, where the Beast devours the Harlot.
End-time Beasts
The apostate leaders who accused Jesus were then destroyed and, as we know, theres a great and terrible Day of
the Lord coming, when thats exactly whats going to happen. The Beast is going to devour and destroy the Harlot
and burn her flesh with fire. So the Beast was basically made
a believer in this God of Daniel, just as in the time of Nebuchadnezzar; and, by the way, Daniel chapter seven speaks
of the end-time. We know the timing of Daniels Tribulation because he gets a revelation of the four Beasts and,
from his time, which was the time of Babylon onward, is
when his revelation started. His vision didnt start with the
Egyptian and Assyrian Beasts, which were two that came
before Babylon. The Beasts of Revelation, however, start
with those two that came before Babylon. Daniel mentions
the four Beasts that lead up to the end-time Beast. There
was the lion with eagles wings (Babylon) that was conquered by the Media-Persian bear, then by Greece, then
Rome. He was prophesying again of the image of the Beast.
In todays end-times, these entities are still with us. The
Lion with Eagles wings is the British Empire and the Eagles
wings are, of course, the present head of the British Empire
and America nowadays. This is the Great Eagle, which was
then and will be today conquered by the Bear. So not only
were these historic, from Daniels day on, but theyre also
an end-time revelation of whats going to happen. We find
that this last Beast that he talks about, which was Rome,
181
devours the whole earth. The last Beast, he tells us, was
headed up by 10 horns, exactly like Revelation 17. The 10
horns are the ten kings that rule over the Beast kingdom.
Among those 10 horns comes up a little horn (Daniel 7:8)
thats different, it says, from the rest of the horns. That little
horn is a ruler among rulers that will be diverse from all of
the 10 and it is the corporate False Prophet. (Dan.7:21)
The same horn made war with the saints. There
it is again! Theyll make war on the Man-child and the
saints, which is exactly what we see in the rest of the Book
of Esther.
A Religious Little Horn
(Dan.7:23) Thus he said, The fourth beast shall
be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the
whole earth. Today we have the United Nations. The
whole earth is inside the body of the last Beast. Remember
that in Daniels vision of the legs of the image of the beast,
Rome lasted from the thighs all the way down to the toes
the iron that was mixed with the clay. It is different in
these days because now it has covered, it has devoured, the
whole earth. And among those 10 kings is the little horn
that comes up to make war on the saints. (Dan.7:20) ...
Before which three fell, even that [horn] that had
eyes, and a mouth that spake great things, whose
look was more stout than its fellows. (21) I beheld,
and the same horn made war with the saints, and
prevailed against them; (22) until the ancient of
days came, and judgment was given to the saints
of the Most High, and the time came that the saints
182
possessed the kingdom.

So we see the Beast has been given authority to crucify
Christ once more. It says that he prevailed against them.
This False Prophet and the Harlot beneath the False Prophet
have been given authority to crucify the flesh of the saints.
It doesnt necessarily mean that all will die; thats not really the point here. The point is the crucifixion of the flesh
of the saints. Why is it that the Church is in such rebellion?
Its because the flesh rules. The Beast, in a spiritual way,
is ruling over them already because their flesh rules over
them already. There has to be a crucifixion for us to bear
fruit and come into the Kingdom; therefore, God is raising up this whole worldwide kingdom to come against His
people.
The little horn represents a religious entity because its
different from the other horns. They are corporate bodies
of secular rulers, but the little horn is a corporate body of
religious rulers who will bring Gods people to their cross,
much like they did Jesus in His day. This is the seed of that
same Sanhedrin thats being raised up in our day, no different from the earlier one. Did you know that the Sanhedrin
in natural Israel has been raised up again? Well, the Sanhedrin in spiritual Israel has been raised up again, too, to
crucify the body of Christ again. God just repeats history in
larger and larger ways.
We must take up our cross and follow Jesus (Matthew
16:24). Its Gods plan; its a good plan that will work. Fear
not because the spiritual man is not going to be conquered
and the quicker we learn to submit, the more we will be
like Daniel, in that the lions mouths will be closed. The
Beast will not be able to devour Daniel. The fire of the
fiery furnace, heated seven times hotter, will not be able
183
to devour the three Hebrews because they have refused to

eat the kings dainties and they refused to bow down to the
image of the Beast, just like Daniel.
Wheat from the Chaff
What we see over here in Esther is clearly a prophecy
of the end-time. The persecution that is raised up against
Mordecai, who was over all Gods people of the kingdom,
will be repeated in our day.
Remember, the Beast decided to kill the people of Mordecai. The people of Mordecai, of whom we are speaking,
includes the Bride but, just as Jerusalem is only part of the
Kingdom, the Bride is only part of the people of Mordecai.
Not everybody in the Church is going to follow the Manchild. All the righteous Jews in the rest of the kingdom,
as were going to discover later, will be delivered from the
Beast through the righteous leadership of Mordecai, the
Man-child, and Esther, the Bride a leadership that refused to bow down and a people that refused to bow down,
respectively. The true people of God will not bow down.
The rest will worship the image of the Beast; they will bow
down.
God is sending a separation in the form of this image of
the Beast. The people who have no faith in their God, no
commitment to their God, will find it easier to justify themselves and bow down to the image of the Beast, even change
their doctrines, if necessary, and submit to the Beast kingdom. The true people of God are represented by the people
of Mordecai, who discover that this leadership is truly the
right leadership, like the people who followed Jesus in His
day. This represented a people from among natural Israel
184
who were a firstfruits to follow Jesus diligently, just as it

will be in our day. (Joh.3:29) He that hath the bride
is the bridegroom.
Even if a person didnt come up to the standard of the
Bride which Jesus raised up, He sent them forth unto every place He was about to go to fulfill the Great Commission. The apostles raised up the five-fold ministry as the
leadership for the rest of Israel, just as the latter day apostles will for the Church. We have some great days coming,
some wondrous days. In Esther 3:7-8, it is also revealed
that Gods people had been rebellious and thats the reason
this is coming today.
The best thing we can do is learn to serve the true and
living God. Dont bow down to the Beast.
CHAPTER TEN
The Beasts God-Given Authority
Id like to briefly review a few things from Esther
chapter three. Weve already seen that the Bride is chosen
from among all the fair virgins of the kingdom because she
pleased the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the only one who
really knows what the Lord likes. He knows the mind of
the Lord because He is the Spirit of God. In chapter two,
Esther was found to be the most beautiful, with the most
glorious garment and instructed completely by the Holy
Spirit. Then we came to chapter three and we saw that the
Beast was part of dressing-up the Bride. The Beast was very
important to bring repentance, as were going to see.
The Harlot Accuses the Man-child
(Est.3:1) After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the
Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above
all the princes that were with him. (2) And all the
kings servants, that were in the kings gate, bowed
down, and did reverence to Haman (representing the
Beast); for the king had so commanded concerning
him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him
reverence. (3) Then the kings servants, that were
in the kings gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the kings commandment? (4) Now
it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him,
and he hearkened not unto them, that they told
Haman, to see whether Mordecais matters would
186
stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew. We

see that Mordecai was accused to Haman, the Beast, and in
all the types and shadows we see in the Scriptures, the ones
doing the accusing are the false people of God and their
false prophets as their head.
These people represent the Harlot and the False Prophet,
accusing Mordecai, just as they later accused Jesus the
Man-child. The accusers of Mordecai the Man-child and
Jesus the Man-child were like the brothers of Joseph, who
sold him into bondage to the Gentiles, to the Beast. There
are so many types in the Scriptures we can see here, but
Id like to point out a little bit more about Haman because
readers may require more information to be convinced of
the correlation between Haman and the Beast, and that he
represents the head of the Beast here.
The Purpose of the Tribulation
Why would God have King Ahasuerus promote Haman
the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him,
and set his seat above all the princes that were with him?
Why would the Husband of the Bride promote this evil man
to rule over Gods people? Well, He has done it throughout
history. If we just read the Bible we can see that Hes done
it over and over. Hes always done it in a time when it was
necessary for Gods people to come to repentance, when it
was necessary for them to go to their cross.
The Lord Jesus is a type for us. He represented the
body of Christ being crucified. The False Prophet was
over the Harlot to be the accuser and the Beast kingdom
at that time, Rome, was necessary to bring crucifixion to
the body of Christ. Jesus told His followers, Whosoever
187
doth not bear his own cross, and come after me,
cannot be my disciple (Luk.14:27). We are here to die
and God has sent us some help. We need to understand
that He is sovereign and that everything He sends into our
life is necessary.
Putting to Death the Old Man
Haman, by the way, was an Agagite, which points out
something. (1Sa.15:32) Then said Samuel, Bring ye
hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And
Agag came unto him cheerfully. And Agag said,
Surely the bitterness of death is past. (33) And
Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women
childless, so shall thy mother be childless among
women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before
the Lord in Gilgal. Notice that Agag was the king of the
Amalekites. In other words, we see that Haman was royalty. He came from the king over a Beast kingdom that made
war on Gods people. It was one of the lesser Beast kingdoms, like the Philistines, not like the larger ones of Egypt,
Assyria and Babylon; nevertheless, in the text, it always
represents a Beast kingdom.
At that time, God had spoken to Saul and told him to go
out and kill these Amalekites, to totally wipe them out
destroy them man, woman and child. He wanted even their
animals destroyed. But Saul began to reason and to have
pity upon this Beast kingdom, even though God wants us
to be totally merciless against this old beast that we live in,
right here. Its a part of this world system; it has an affinity
for this world system. He wants that old flesh to be crucified. He cannot accept renewed flesh. We cannot teach the
188
flesh and we cannot make it holy it has to die.

Saul had pity upon the very enemy of the spiritual man,
which is the Jew. God told him not to do that; he was to kill
them all and it was a type and a shadow, not of Gods mercilessness toward lost mankind, but of His attitude toward
the flesh. The flesh is the enemy of God. (Mat.16:25) For
whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and
whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find
it. The old man, the Amalekite, has to die. Hes not permitted in the Kingdom. Saul had pity upon him and Saul lost
his position in the Kingdom himself because of that.
Samuel knew this was necessary and told Agag, As
thy sword hath made women childless. Think about that.
Weve talked about women representing the people of God,
in different sects and divisions. Being childless equates to
not bringing forth fruit and who is guilty of that more than
anyone? Its the old man, the flesh, the beast that dwells
in us which has caused many to be childless, many not to
bear fruit. Of course, the fruit we want to bear is the Manchild, Jesus Christ, in our life. For whosoever shall do
the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my
brother, and sister, and mother (Mat.12:50), Jesus
said. If we do His Fathers Will, we will bring forth the fruit
of Jesus Christ, making us His mother, in a sense.
But the flesh fights against this. As long as the flesh lives,
a person will never bring forth Jesus Christ. (2Co.4:16)
Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward
man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed
day by day. That outer man has to die. He is the beast in
your life and he will give in to that Harlot religion. Together
they will make war against your spiritual man, the one who
is being born in the image of Jesus, so its necessary that the
189
old, beastly, outer man dies. Samuel wasnt going to have

any pity on him. He hewed him to pieces with his sword
and we should also put to death that old man and be totally
merciless toward him. Take the Sword of the Spirit, which
is the Word of God, and just hew him in pieces.
Hamans Ancestors
So Agag was the leadership over the Amalekites. We
know that the Amalekites came from Eliphaz, who was the
son of Esau. Remember Eliphaz the Temanite in the book
of Job? He was one of Jobs persecutors. That places the
dating of the book of Job to right after the time of Esau.
Eliphaz brought forth the Amalekites and they made war
on Gods people. We can see, for instance, in Exodus 17:8
on down, the story of Israel in their wilderness time, going
to war with the Amalekites. Did you know that the sons of
Esau and Eliphaz also inhabited portions of the Promised
Land? In a way, we are the Promised Land because Hebrews chapter six calls us the land that is supposed to bear
fruit when the rain comes upon it. Otherwise, its good for
nothing but to be thrown in the fire, Paul tells us there. The
old man in the land, the Amalekite, has to be put to death
by the spiritual man.
God told the Jews to go in, take the sword and conquer
them. The Jews were to kill them, take their land and raise
their own crops, their own fruit, in that land. This is the
story because those people inhabited the land of promise
and they had to be put to death in order for the spiritual
man to live. We see that same story in the book of Esther.
We see the Beast making war upon the saints. The beast
that makes war on us more than any other is this one inside
190
us thats in total agreement with the world. The lusts of the

flesh represent the tribes of the Canaanites that had to be
put to death so that the spiritual man could dwell in the
land.
The Battle Was Won on the Cross
Well, here is the story: (Exo.17:8) Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim. (9) And
Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and
go out, fight with Amalek: tomorrow I will stand
on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my
hand. (10) So Joshua did as Moses had said to him,
and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and
Hur went up to the top of the hill. (11) And it came
to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel
prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek
prevailed. (12) But Moses hands were heavy; and
they took a stone, and put it under him (He was on
the Rock.), and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur
stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and
the other on the other side; And his hands were
steady until the going down of the sun. Wow! What
do you think that represents, standing up there with your
hands stretched out to both sides? It almost looks like the
cross, doesnt it? I think that is exactly what God wants us
to see. Aaron means light and Hur means splendor
or whiteness, purity. Our desire for these things and the
support that we receive from these things in Scripture enables us to stay on our cross. We will be winning the battle,
as long as we are on our cross.
I know that Moses represents, in one form, the Man-
191
child, and Aaron and Hur represent the Two Witnesses,

but theres also another parable here. As long as were on
our cross, were going to be winning our battle against our
enemy, the Beast, because were crucifying him. (13) And
Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with
the edge of the sword. They won, as long as Moses
hands were up. If he let his hands down, there was no cross.
Without a cross, there is no crown. So the Israelites began
to win the battle. (14) And the Lord said unto Moses,
Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse
it in the ears of Joshua: that I will utterly blot out
the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
God is going to totally destroy the Beast and Hes going
to do it in our coming days. (15) And Moses built an
altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi (That
means, The Lord is my banner.); (16) and he said,
the Lord hath sworn: the Lord will have war with
Amalek from generation to generation. Well, truly
in our generation, the Lord is making war with Amalek and
as long as were bearing our cross, we will be winning this
battle. As the Apostle Paul says, we have to die daily.
Let me point out that where it reads in verse 16, the
Lord hath sworn, according to the footnote in my
Bible, the Hebrew actually says, A hand is lifted up upon
the throne of Jehovah. God is saying here that He has
already given us the victory, that He has already given us
authority to win this battle. Just as Moses arms were lifted
up, the Lord says that He has an Arm lifted up upon the
throne. We have the authority to win this battle against the
old man, against the flesh, against the inhabitant of our
Promised Land. Its been promised to us that we should
rule this land. Its been promised to the spiritual man to
192
rule because the old man has been crucified with Christ
and the only one left is the new man, the spiritual man. We
accept by faith the fact that the Lord has already given us
the victory because Hes already put to death the old man
on the cross.
Our Biggest Conquest
So when we learn from the book of Esther that Haman
is the son of Hammedatha, which means the father of
Hamath the Agagite, who was the leader of Amalek,
which were the people who warred against Gods people,
we should see that God has given us the victory over him
already. We should accept it now. Even the False Prophet
and the Harlot, who accused Mordecai before Haman,
have been conquered. Their purpose is part of Gods plan
to bring us to the place where we must accept our cross. We
have to let the old man die not the exterior old man, but
the old man in us. The most important part of the Beast to
conquer is the part that is the Beast in us. In Ecclesiastes
3:18, Solomon said that man is a beast and together we
make up the Beast, or the corporate Beasts of this world.
Giving the Beast Permission
The Beast wants to destroy all of the people of God and
he has an ordination in these days to do that. (Est.3:5)
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not
down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full
of wrath. (6) But he thought scorn to lay hands on
Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him
the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought
193
to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the

whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of
Mordecai. As were going to see, God is going to give him
authority to do that, if he can.
You know, the Beast has authority to take just as much
ground against you as he is able, as much ground as you
will give him. Were the ones who have to give authority to
the old man to conquer us. (Rom.8:13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye must die. Of course, thats not necessarily talking about a physical death, its talking about
a spiritual death. You die spiritually if you walk after the
flesh and give in to the old man, who is one part of the corporate body of the Beast.
First of all, in this passage, it says, the people of
Mordecai. All the Jews were the people of Mordecai. He
was the representative head of all the Jews, but not only
that, he is the head of all the people who dont bow down to
Haman. The true Jew is not going to bow down. If he does
bow down, that identifies him as a member of the body of
the Beast. As we read the rest of the story of Esther, we
see that the people of God, the true Jews, are saved from
the Beast, through the workings of both Mordecai and
Esther and the power of God. Again, we see that death here
represents spiritual death.
Gods Rebellious People
The answer as to why God is giving authority to the
Beast to make war on the people of God is right here:
(Est.3:7) In the first month, which is the month
Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they
cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day
194
to day, and from month to month, [to] the twelfth

[month,] which is the month Adar. (8) And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain
people scattered abroad and dispersed among the
peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and
their laws are diverse from [those of] every people (That is so true about us. We are the people of God and
our laws are totally different from all those of the people
around us.); neither keep they the kings laws (This
is the problem, right here. The accuser is coming before the
King and telling Him that His people dont keep His Word,
that they dont keep the Kings laws.): therefore it is not
for the kings profit to suffer them.
What does our King know? Our King knows that the
reason we do not keep His laws is because of that beastly
flesh and it has to be crucified so that the spiritual man
takes over this vessel, that Jesus Christ lives in us and that
we are able to walk the walk. There has to be a crucifixion
for this to come to pass. You see, God is doing everything
for our good. People say that God will not bring them into
Tribulation, will not bring them under the Beast kingdom,
even that theyll never see the Beast kingdom. They havent
read the Bible because, historically, repeated throughout
the Scriptures, is God turning His rebellious people (its
always because of their rebellion) over to this crucifixion;
consistently throughout the Bible He does this.
Who Breaks the Covenant?
In fact, Im going to point out one passage that I partially
referred to before in Ezekiel, which is the story of Babylon
conquering the people of God and bringing their leadership
195
and people into submission. I shared with you that there

are seven verses, from verse 12 on down, in which the word
covenant is mentioned. In the middle of those seven verses, the covenant is broken. The word covenant is mentioned in those seven verses six times, which is the number
of man, the Beast, and after 3 verses, the words break
the covenant are spoken. Then it goes on for 3 more
verses. But notice what God says: (Eze.17:12) Say now
to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these
things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, and took the king thereof,
and the princes thereof, and brought them to him
to Babylon. He took control over the people of God and
over their reprobate leadership.
God did this because they were rebellious. As a matter of fact, He gives them this warning: (19) Therefore
thus saith the Lord God: As I live, surely mine
oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that
he hath broken, I will even bring it upon his own
head. Hes talking about the King of Gods people, which
represents the leadership of Gods people today, and He
says that they have broken His covenant. This is the reason He has allowed the Beast to bring them into this bondage once again. (20) And I will spread my net upon
him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will
bring him to Babylon, and will enter into judgment with him there for his trespass that he hath
trespassed against me. The leadership of Gods people
is going into bondage to the Beast, just like the Pharisees
and the Sadducees went into bondage to the Roman Beast,
for the purpose of bringing Gods people into that bondage.
Once more, God is just repeating history. He does it all the
196
way through the Scriptures.

Dont think that youre going to fly away and miss the
Beast. The Beast and Harlot have a purpose and that
purpose is to sanctify you. They are vessels of dishonor that
God uses to help you to your cross. We dont necessarily
mean a physical cross, but a cross of death-to-self.
Sold Out to the Beast
After Haman had recounted before the king why it
was necessary for him to bring them to this persecution
and crucifixion, it says this: (Est.3:9) If it please the
king, let it be written that they be destroyed: and
I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the
hands of those that have the charge of the [kings]
business, to bring it into the kings treasuries.
Well, you remember that Joseph was bought for silver and
Jesus was bought for silver by the Harlot, who was in bed
with the Beast of that time.
Administrating the Curse
(10) And the king took his ring from his hand,
and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha
the Agagite, the Jews enemy. The ring represented
the kings authority. He gave the kings authority to the
Jews enemy to wipe them out. The Beast has been given
authority to make war upon the saints, to crucify the old
man. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Many people
think that its a bad thing. They say, Oh, God would never
do that! But Jesus said, For whosoever would save
his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his
197
life for my sake shall find it (Mat.16:25). How many

others does it take to put you and me on the cross? Gods
built a whole world to do that. Hes built all of our enemies
to do that. Hes put together this Harlot system around us
to be the Judases to come against us, to accuse us and Hes
built a Beast kingdom to take up the sword against us and
to make war upon the saints.
Invited to the Crucifixion
Jeremiah 27 is the story of the natural people of God
and their surroundings. He speaks of Judah, Edom, Moab,
Ammon, Tyre and all the nations around natural Israel,
which is a type of spiritual Israel, Gods people. A Jew today is someone circumcised in heart, according to Paul, in
Romans 2:29. So we take this type and shadow and we see
ourselves in it because these things happened unto
them by way of example; and they were written
for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the
ages are come (1Co.10:11). (Jer.27:6) And now
have I given all these lands (Thats the whole Middle
East Hes talking about, by type and shadow, the people
of God and the people around them.) into the hand of
Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant
(This was a pagan king, one who came to know the Lord, I
admit, but when he conquered Israel he was a pagan king
and a Beast nation. God called him my servant.); and
the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve
him. (7) And all the nations shall serve him, and
his son, and his sons son, until the time of his own
land come (Yes, Babylon, the Great Eagle, will have her
time to fall, but before that, they have been given author-
198
ity, not as vessels of honor, but as vessels of dishonor, over

the whole world, in order to bring Gods people into bondage, as we read here.): and then many nations and
great kings shall make him their bondman. That is,
when the Great Eagles time is up. (We read in Ezekiel 17
that Babylon is called the great eagle). (8) And it shall
come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom
which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck
under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation
will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword, and
with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I
have consumed them by his hand.
(9) But as for you, hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor
to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that
speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king
of Babylon (In other words, theyre saying, Youre not
going under the Beast. We hear that almost everywhere
in apostate Christianity, yet, 2 Thessalonians chapter two
definitely tells us that we are.): (10) for they prophesy
a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land,
and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish. This is because, unless we are crucified by the Beast,
were not fit for the Kingdom of God. So, as desperately as
Gods people want to escape the Beast, they dont understand that it means theyre trying to escape heaven because
Gods plan is to bring Gods rebellious people unto this crucifixion. (Isa.27:11) But the nation that shall bring
their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon,
and serve him, that [nation] will I let remain in
their own land. Do you know why? Because the old
199
man is going to be put to death and that nation is going to

rule the land.
How many times was Israel, as a type and a shadow,
driven from their land because of their rebellion? They
defiled the land with their works because the Canaanite lived
in them, the Beast lived in them. The curse was devouring
the earth, as it is today. The curse is devouring the earth
because Gods people are doing it their way; they dont
want the old man to die. They want to favor the Beast and,
as Saul, have pity on him, save him. But Samuel cut him in
pieces, not even leaving a little piece alive. The lesson were
seeing here is the same thing. God is giving authority to the
Beast. Can He give authority to the Beast and Gods people
at the same time? Yes, He can thats the whole point.
War on the Saints Worldwide
This Beast has been given authority over the earth, to
crucify people, not just in tiny Israel, but the whole world.
(Est.3:11) And the king said unto Haman, The
silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with
them as it seemeth good to thee. In other words,
Do whatever you can do. (12) Then were the kings
scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth
day thereof; and there was written according
to all that Haman commanded unto the kings
satraps, and to the governors that were over every
province, and to the princes of every people, to
every province according to the writing thereof,
and to every people after their language.
Everybody has their eye on little Israel over there, thinking
that the Beast is going to come against them and hes going
200
to be only in their sanctuary. They are missing the point in

the New Testament. The Beast is going to make war and
take dominion over the whole earth, as the Scripture says
in Daniel 7:23, in order to bring Gods people to maturity.
The Number of Rebellion
Its very interesting that this happened on the thirteenth
day. In Genesis 14:4, it says, and in the thirteenth year
they rebelled against the Beast, against the kings who
ruled over the land. What happened here? Well, I think its
something that we need to pay attention to. The rebellion
we see in Ezekiel 17 is a type and shadow of the people of
God rebelling in the midst of the Tribulation. Theyll see
the Mark of the Beast coming and wont be content to say,
Okay, Ill just say no. If they take off my head, fine. Not a
problem. Im going right straight into the presence of the
Savior. People dont want to lose their life to gain their life.
It doesnt necessarily mean physically losing our life; Ive
admitted that before. Sometimes its spiritual. Day by day,
we have to lose our life.
We have to give up our dominion, the old mans dominion, over this life. We have to just let him die and we need
some help to get this done quickly before the end. Thats
why God is raising up the Beast. Remember in Revelation
17 how the kings ruled the earth? They were the rulers over
the Beast kingdom, but here in Genesis 14 they rebelled
and the number 13 means something. This is the first mention of 13 in the Bible, by the way, and first mention has
significance in the Scriptures. In this case, 13 is the number
of rebellion. Gods people are in rebellion, just as Haman
said to the King, They wont keep your laws. They have
201
laws different from everybody else. As we saw in Ezekiel

17, they were in rebellion and God accused them; He didnt
accuse the Beast. He said the Beast was His servant. The
Beast was doing just what he was ordained to do. He was
being very obedient in crucifying the people of God. Its the
people of God who were being rebellious. They werent going to do their part, to give up and die, to lose their life.
Here in Genesis 14, in the 13th year, they rebelled and
Gods people, including Lot, who represented the carnal people of God, were taken into bondage by the Beast.
Abram hears of it and God sends him to deliver his people
out of bondage to the Beast. Now Abram represents the
Man-child delivering the people of God. The Man-child
also comes face to face with Melchizedek, king of Salem, in
verse 18. Melchizedek is the King of peace; (3) without father, without mother, without genealogy
(Heb.7:2-3). Abram comes face to face with the Lord; hes
seen the face of the Lord and hes delivered the people of
God from the Beast kingdom.
So we can see that 13 represents the same thing here
as it represents over in Esther 3. On the 13th day, Haman
is given authority and he speaks basically to the whole
world. (Est.3:12) ... In the name of king Ahasuerus
was it written, and it was sealed with the kings
ring. (13) And letters were sent by posts into all
the kings provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to
cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old,
little children and women, in one day, even upon
the thirteenth [day]. There it is: the day of rebellion.
202
Walking on in Baptism
Our flesh doesnt want to serve God; it doesnt want to
humble itself to this Word. This Word is crucifying. If you
obey this Word, you will die. What did the Israelites say
to Moses? (Exo.20:19) And they said unto Moses,
Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not
God speak with us, lest we die. They didnt want to
climb that mountain, which represented the Kingdom of
God. They didnt want to come face to face with God. Well,
its true. If we do hear His voice, we will die because the
water of the Word is the Baptism that were to be baptized
with. Baptism is a type of the death of the old man, the
death of the Beast. What is it that kills him? (Eph.5:26)
The washing of water with the word.
Am I talking against natural baptism? No, Im not because
natural baptism is an act of faith whereby we are united
with Christ in the likeness of the death of the old man and
the resurrection of the new man. You come up out of the
water and no longer does the old man live, but now Jesus
lives in you. Thats what baptism is about. Youre accepting
this by faith. But then, after youre through with your
baptism, are you going to continue to walk in that baptism
by letting the washing of the water with the Word put to
death the old man, the beast in your life, the one whos in
rebellion against God? (Gal.5:17) For the flesh lusteth
against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh;
for these are contrary the one to the other; that
ye may not do the things that ye would. The old
man has to die, so that the new man can rule. Holiness and
sanctification are the new man ruling. He is created in the
image of Jesus Christ. He is the spiritual man.
203
Lose Your Life to Gain Your Life

So the command went forth into all the areas of the world
under the dominion of the king and under the authority
of the Beast to bring it to pass. (Est.3:13) And letters
were sent by posts into all the kings provinces, to
destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews,
both young and old, little children and women,
in one day, even upon the thirteenth [day] of the
twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to
take the spoil of them for a prey. (14) A copy of the
writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples,
that they should be ready against that day. Well,
this means the crucifixion of the Jews by the Beast kingdom.
Obviously, not everybody is going to die, but we do have
Revelation 20:4, which tells us that there are those who
are beheaded for the testimony of Jesus. Frankly, theres
something spiritual about that, too. The Bible says, Be
ye transformed by the renewing of your mind
(Rom.12:2). Were supposed to be making Jesus our
head. We grow up into all things into Him, Who is the
head. We have to be beheaded, in a very spiritual way. We
have to lose the whole mind of the flesh. For the mind of
the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life
and peace (Rom.8:6). In a spiritual way, some people
have to lose their head before they lose their head. If you
dont enter the Kingdom in the Spirit, youll have to enter
through the death of the flesh, but one way or the other, we
all have to die.
There is only one way into the Kingdom: we must die.
204
The old man must die to enter the Kingdom. (Mat.16:25)

For whosoever would save his life shall lose it:
and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall
find it. Its a deception perpetrated by religion that we
dont have to give up our life and be crucified. (Luk.14:27)
Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come
after me, cannot be my disciple. We each have to take
up our own cross and follow Jesus, or we are not His disciple. Lets listen to what the Word of God says. Religion
has pretty well designed itself to escape any kind of persecution or tribulation. Oh, no, were not going into that
Tribulation! We dont wanna go there. God wouldnt drag
His Bride through the mud, they say. They love to come up
with these little clichs that dont make any sense whatsoever, when talking about the spirit realm.
We also have Revelation 13:7, which tells us that the
Beast is going to make war on the saints, and to overcome
them. Lets hope its the carnal man that is going to be
overcome and not the spiritual man. Obviously, the Beast
crucified the body of Christ. In the book of Acts, it was only
the old man, only the physical life that was able to be put
to death there. The Beast couldnt touch the spiritual man.
And so it is with us the old man has to die.
If we read the rest of the book of Esther, its very
strange, but all of the Jews escaped because the Jew is not
the old man. The old man is the Canaanite. The Jew is the
spiritual man; that is, all of the true Jews, those who are
circumcised in heart, those whose circumcision is inward,
not outward of the circumcision of the flesh. Why is that?
Because circumcision is the cutting off of the flesh, the
cutting off of the old man. Thats why all the Jews in the
book of Esther escaped. They all escaped. Everyone whos
205
a true Jew is one who is circumcised; the old man is cut off.
So we have this paradox we have to think about. We learn
from Revelation that some people are going to lose their
lives but, apparently, the Jews are going to escape. If you
dont lose your carnal life, if the old man is not crucified,
then you have to be crucified because you have to enter into
life through death. Everybody does.
Salvation Is Enduring Faith
Its a terrible thing when the spiritual man dies.
(Jud.12) These are they who are hidden rocks in
your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds
without water, carried along by winds; autumn
leaves without fruit (Water is the life of the Word of
God in us.), twice dead, plucked up by the roots.
Here are some physically living people and God is saying
that theyre twice dead, plucked up by the roots. Theyre
plucked out of the Kingdom of God, no longer a part of
the Kingdom of God.
How can a person be twice dead if theyre not twice born?
Here is a people who were dead in their sins, then they were
born again and died again, not a physical death this time,
but a spiritual death. Their spiritual man died. They started
out walking by the Spirit and ended up walking in the flesh.
The Bible says, If ye live after the flesh, ye must die
(Rom.8:13). Some say, It cant happen. Oh? It does all
the time to spiritual people who walk in the flesh. Theyre
not feeding their spiritual man. Instead, theyre feeding
their carnal man, obeying their carnal man. When a person
does that, their spiritual man dies. They cant both live in
206
the same territory.

Those of you who say, That cant happen, need to look
at this verse: (Jud.1:5) Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for
all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the
land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. You have to endure to the end in your faith
to see salvation. Jesus said, He that endureth to the
end, the same shall be saved (Mat.10:22). At the
beginning of your walk, youre saved by faith, but you have
to endure in that faith. When you walk by faith, let me tell
you what you have from God: you have the gift of power
from God and He enables you to live the crucified life, to
turn away from the old man and let that man die from lack
of sustenance. Youre not feeding him anymore because
youre not giving him what he wants. Its the black dog/
white dog scenario. You take two dogs and you pen them
up. If you feed the black dog and not the white, when you
turn them loose, the black dog will beat the white dog. The
victor will be the one you feed.
Who are you feeding? If you fast and stop feeding your
flesh and you feed the spiritual man the Word of God, the
breath of the Spirit of life, then your spiritual man is going
to win. If not, hes going to die and you will be twice dead,
plucked up by the roots.
Conquering the Beast in Us
Paul tells us who the real, true Jews are. (Rom.2:28)
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither
is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:
(29) but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and cir-
207
cumcision is that of the heart. These people are all

going to have the victory. Even though the Beast was given
authority over them, as were going to see later, everything
is going to be turned around. They will have authority over
the Beast because, when the spiritual man lives and the
carnal man dies, then the spiritual man has authority over
the Beast.
Can God give both authorities at the same time? Yes,
He does. You can walk in the flesh or you can walk in the
Spirit. He gives both authority at the exact same time. In
our next study, we will see how He gives authority to the
Bride over the Beast. He has already, right here in chapter
three, given the Beast authority to kill all the people of God.
The beast in the world is in cooperation with the beast in
the flesh. They are of one nature; they are all the seed of the
devil. Remember that Jesus told the Pharisees, Ye are of
[your] father, the devil (Joh.8:44). They were born
from beneath (John 8:23). Their nature came from him; it
didnt come from God.
The Pharisees, back then, said to Jesus, Our father is
Abraham (39). There are a lot of people today who are
like that, who believe that they are children of God because
they accepted Jesus as their personal Savior. But theyre
mean as a snake and born from beneath. That corrupt,
fallen nature that judgmental, evil nature is from the
devil. And they dont know it, but theyve already been
conquered (John 8:34).
Great Tribulation Brings Great Repentance
So we have to lose our life and this is what its all about.
This is what were here for. Jesus said, To this end have
208
I been born (Joh.18:37). Now He tells us, Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after
me, cannot be my disciple (Luk.14:27). We came
into this world to die, to lose this old man, this old flesh,
this old Beast. The Mark of the Beast is going to be put on
the people of the Beast. It identifies them as members of
the body of the Beast.
God also has a mark. Its His Name in your forehead and
name means His nature, character and authority (Revelation 14:1-5). Spiritual Jews have lost their head; they now
have the renewed mind of Christ. These Jews who escape
the Beast, conquer the Beast, celebrate Purim these are
the people who have won their battle with the beast.
Only after this dominion was given to the Beast did
Gods people suddenly become serious with Him and repent. We read, And in every province, whithersoever the kings commandment and his decree came,
there was great mourning among the Jews, and
fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay
in sackcloth and ashes (Est.4:3). Wow! Would this
great repentance have happened if God had not given His
authority to the Beast? No. Gods people are not going to
repent until they have to. We need somebody to drive the
nails.
Great repentance is coming when people with discernment, with eyes to see and ears to hear, realize, Oh! Im
not flying away; Im going under this Beast and he wants
to kill me!
A great move of God is coming, folks. Glory be to God!
His plan is best. Be in prayer.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
In the Presence of the King: The Second Throne
Experience
In the last chapter, we discovered that Haman, who
clearly represents the Beast, had received authority from
the King to send forth a judgment against Gods people
because they were rebellious and not keeping His laws.
(Est.3:13) And letters were sent by posts into all
the kings provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to
cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old,
little children and women, in one day, even upon
the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is
the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for
a prey. We can see that the timing of this is the same as in
Revelation 13, when a pronouncement was made to kill the
saints who refused the Mark of the Beast. (Rev.13:7) And
it was given unto him (that is, the Beast) to make war
with the saints, and to overcome them: and there
was given to him authority over every tribe and
people and tongue and nation. So he makes war on
the saints. We know that the Jews in the New Testament,
according to Romans 2:28-29, are those people who are
circumcised in heart, rather than in the flesh, meaning they
are born again.
False Prophets Persecution
We also see that the False Prophet, who is actually a part
of the Beasts body, is spoken of: (Rev.13:15) And it was
given [unto him] (literally, this is unto her because
210
were talking about a corporate body) to give breath to

it, even to the image of the beast, that the image
of the beast should both speak, and cause that
as many as should not worship the image of the
beast should be killed. (16) And he causeth all, the
small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and
the free and the bond, that there be given them a
mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead.
So we know that this is the time of the persecution of Gods
people, represented in Esther by the Jews. This is the
Revelation 13:5 Beast, which comes in the second 3 years
of the Tribulation Period. The Revelation 12:6 dragon was
in authority for the first 3 years. The timing that were
coming to in the book of Esther is corresponding to the
middle of the Tribulation Period.
The Need for Repentance
This is when the people who discovered that they didnt
fly away and found themselves in the hands of an angry
Beast began to seek the Lord. (Est.4:3) And in every
province, whithersoever the kings commandment
and his decree came, there was great mourning
among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and
wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
This represents a great repentance, something the Church
badly needs and, unless there is the kind of threat that were
looking at here, it probably would never come. This threat
is going to drive people to seek God for themselves and give
up their religious perversions and Babylonish religious
traps and seek after God. Praise God! Great repentance
thats what we need.
In the Presence of the King...
211
Prayer of a Righteous Man

From verse four on down, Esther gets the revelation
of this great attack on her people and shes exceedingly
grieved. Mordecai, as we saw in verse one, had rent his
clothes and was also in grief concerning this indictment
of Gods people. So Esther sends Hathach to Mordecai, to
the broad place of the city, which was before the
Kings gate (Est.4:6). (7) And Mordecai told him of
all that had happened unto him, and the exact sum
of the money that Haman had promised to pay
to the kings treasuries for the Jews, to destroy
them. (8) Also he gave him the copy of the writing
of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it unto Esther, and to declare
it unto her, and to charge her that she should go
in unto the king. Notice here that Mordecai still has the
authority over Esther. In fact, we are told, Esther did
the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she
was brought up with him (Est.2:20).
Mordecai represents the Man-child of Revelation 12 because Mordecai in Hebrew means little man, or Manchild; and in Persian, which is the empire in power here, it
means little boy. We see that Mordecai, as the Man-child,
was exercising authority over the one who was chosen to be
the Bride and he charges her, that she should go in unto
the king, to make supplication unto him, and to
make request before him, for her people (Est.4:8).
We saw that the Bride was the most beautiful in all
the Kingdom and that she was dressed up with the
righteous acts of the saints (Rev.19:8). She was the
most righteous from among Gods people. We know that
212
intercession and the supplication of a righteous

man availeth much in its working (Jas.5:16).
Thats exactly what Mordecai is exhorting Esther to do to
intercede to the King for her people.
The Inner Court, or Holy Place
(Est.4:9) And Hathach came and told Esther the
words of Mordecai. (10) Then Esther spake unto
Hatach, and gave him a message unto Mordecai,
[saying] (11) All the kings servants, and the people of the kings provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the
king into the inner court, who is not called, there
is one law for him, that he be put to death, except
those to whom the king shall hold out the golden
sceptre, that he may live. There is something very
spiritual about this. Where it refers to the inner court,
that also has an application to the Temple. The Temple of
God, or the Tabernacle of God, consisted of a Holy of Holies, an inner court and an outer court. As the Temple of
God, it represents not only the people of God as a corporate
body, but it represents us individually.
We have a Holy of Holies, which is our spirit man in our
innermost being. The inner court would be our soul and
the outer court would be our body. We see that if anyone
came into the inner court, who is not called, there
is one law for him, that he be put to death, except
those to whom the king shall hold out the golden
sceptre, that he may live (11). I believe that in order
for us to come into the presence of God, to come into the
inner court, we have to die. The one who receives grace in
213
this instance is the spiritual man, not the carnal man. We

have to die unto self. Thats what this represents. Esther
says that if anyone shall come unto the king into the
inner court, who is not called, there is one law for
him, that he be put to death (11). We know that the
inner court in the Temple is the place of the altar, the place
of the burning up of the beastly sacrifice. This also represents the old man being burnt up on the fiery trials of the
tribulations that we go through. We present our bodies as a
living sacrifice (Romans 12:1) and the old life, the self life,
which is synonymous with the soul life, has to be sacrificed
on the altar. But the spiritual man escapes death because
there is no curse on the spiritual man; he is in the image of
God.
When you first come to the Lord, your spirit is saved;
it is born again. It is likened in Romans chapter 8 to the
Spirit of Christ. When you have a born-again spirit, its the
first part of you that the Holy Spirit brings into the image
of Christ. The born-again spirit is the Holy of Holies. Then,
it is the job of the Holy Spirit, through your spirit, to bring
your soul into the relationship of manifesting Jesus Christ.
That is the inner court. Ultimately, we receive a new body,
which is the outer court. By the way, we can also see an
example of this relationship in Revelation 11 because
everybody has a relationship to the presence of the King in
the Holy of Holies, too. We can stand in the inner court or
we can stand in the outer court in our relationship to God.
It can be a fleshly relationship to God in the outer court, or
a soulish one in the inner court. We know that when Jesus
died, the veil of the Temple was rent from top to bottom,
in order for us to come totally into the presence of God; in
other words, unto the Mercy Seat.
214
Burning Up the Beast on the Altar

(Rev.11:1) And there was given me a reed like
unto a rod: and one said, Rise, and measure the
temple of God (or the Sanctuary of God), and the altar,
and them that worship therein. What are people doing in the altar? This is an altar where the sacrificial beast
was taken to be sacrificed and burned up. Well, of course,
thats us, too. This old man is a part of the Beast kingdom;
as we learned in earlier chapters of Esther, and for us to
come into the presence of the King, this old man has to
be sacrificed. We must lose our life to gain our life. Them
that worship therein have the position of the altar in the
Tabernacle of God. (2) And the court which is without the temple (that is, the outer court) leave without,
and measure it not; for it hath been given unto the
nations. The nations are especially persecuting those
who are in the outer court. But he measured off the inner
court and those who were in the altar. There was protection in that regard because if youre giving up your life, God
doesnt really have to take it from you.
In Matthew 5:13, Jesus spoke about those who had lost
their salt and they were to be trampled under the feet of
the nations. That can bring the kind of repentance that we
just read about here, when the decree was spoken and the
people of God were in great repentance, quickly turning to
God. We see that God is speaking something spiritual here
to us, that Esther is called at this particular time to enter
into the presence of the King in the inner court, which
would be the area of the soul. As we read on down, this will
make even more sense.
215
For Such a Time as This

(Est.4:12) And they told to Mordecai Esthers
words. (13) Then Mordecai bade them return answer unto Esther, Think not with thyself that thou
shalt escape in the kings house, more than all the
Jews. Obviously, the Bride here is not all the Jews. He
was exhorting her that she wouldnt escape if she didnt intercede for the rest of the Jews and stand in their stead.
(14) For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at
this time, then will relief and deliverance arise to
the Jews from another place, but thou and thy fathers house will perish: and who knoweth whether thou art not come to the kingdom for such a
time as this?
Thats a wonderful statement and its really true, that
the Bride is coming to the position of being in the presence
of the King for the purpose of interceding for her little
sister, as Song of Solomon 8:8 likens it. (Est.4:15) Then
Esther bade them return answer unto Mordecai,
(16) Go, gather together all the Jews that are
present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and
neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I
also and my maidens will fast in like manner; and
so will I go in unto the king (The way that we go into
the presence of the King is that we have to cease feeding the
flesh. Again, thats like the altar of sacrifice; we are offering
up our old, soulish life unto death, in order to enter into
the presence of the Lord.), which is not according to
the law (Wow! Her entering into the presence of the King
is not according to the law. Thats very important, as we
read on down.): and if I perish, I perish.
216
Drawing Near with Boldness Through Faith

(17) So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
(Est.5:1) Now it came to pass on the third day (Here
we are on the third day from the last Adam. Those are very
prophetic timings.), that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the kings
house (Her position now is in the place where the altar is
and she basically said that this position to be in the presence of the king was not according to Law.), over against
the kings house: and the king sat upon his royal
throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house. (2) And it was so, when the
king saw Esther the queen standing in the court
(that is, the inner court), that she obtained favor (This
is very interesting because this is the same Hebrew word
for grace, so the text could read, she obtained grace) in
his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew
near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Notice when she came into the presence of the King,
Esther put on her royal apparel that God obviously gave
to the Bride in this case. We saw in Revelation 19:8 that her
royal apparel was the righteous acts of the saints. So
she was putting on the Lord Jesus Christ and making not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts
[thereof] (Rom.13:14). She was putting on the apparel, or the works of Christ. She was drawing near because
of Him giving her favor, or grace. She said that its not
according to the law, but now we see that it is according
to grace that she comes into the presence of the king. She
217
was fasting, not feeding the flesh; she was giving up the old
man at the altar. All these represent the inner court.
(Heb.4:16) Let us therefore draw near with
boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may
receive mercy, and may find grace to help [us] in
time of need. This is definitely a time of need, the middle
of the Tribulation Period, when the Mark of the Beast is
given. Those who refuse the Mark are given over to death.
The Bride is coming to intercede in her royal apparel into
the presence of the King. She is drawing near, as it says in
Hebrews, with boldness unto the throne of grace, which is
the Kings presence, that we may receive mercy. How do
we get grace? The throne of grace comes through faith. We
draw near with boldness. (Eph.2:8) By grace have
ye been saved through faith. Faith gives us access to
Gods grace. Not according to Law, could she come into the
presence of the king, but only through faith.
Remember, the Bride was dressed up by works, her
righteous acts. The word justified used here is the same
word for accounted righteous. The Bride is righteous
because of her acts, which are obviously acts of faith and
not acts of Law because we are told that we cannot be righteous according to the works of the Law. (Gal.2:16) Yet
knowing that a man is not justified by the works
of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even
we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of
the law: because by the works of the law shall no
flesh be justified. And were told: (Gal.3:10) For as
many as are of the works of the law are under a
curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who
continueth not in all things that are written in the
218
book of the law, to do them. (11) Now that no man

is justified by the law before God, is evident: for,
The righteous shall live by faith; (12) and the law
is not of faith; but, He that doeth them shall live in
them. The Lord is basically saying, If youre trying to be
justified (or come into My presence) by keeping the works
of the Law, its not possible. You have to come by faith.
There are many people who are trapped into false
Christian religions that put them under different aspects of
the Law, as the Bible tells us: (Gal.5:4) Ye are severed
from Christ, ye who would be justified by the
law; ye are fallen away from grace. (5) For we
through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of
righteousness.
Joint-Heirs with Christ
We find this repeated in many different ways. For instance, he says that the servant is the one who is, (Gal.4:3)
held in bondage under the rudiments of the
world. (4) But when the fulness of the time came,
God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, (5) that he might redeem them that
were under the law, that we might receive the
adoption of sons. So we see, the Bride is just another
parable of coming into sonship. (6) And because ye are
sons (that is, by faith), God sent forth the Spirit of his
Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. (7) So
that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son;
and if a son, then an heir through God. We have to
remember this. Were going to see the same thing in the
book of Esther.
219
How do we become joint-heirs with Christ? Its the sons

who are the heirs, not the servants. The servants are those
who are under the Law and the rest of the chapter speaks
of them: (Gal.4:21) Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? (22) For it is
written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the
handmaid, and one by the freewoman. He went on
to liken the handmaid to those who are seeking to be justified by law. He also tells us that the handmaid shall not
inherit with the son of the freewoman. It is the Bride who is
a joint-heir and the sons of God are joint-heirs with Christ.
Everyone has been given this gift to partake of through
faith, but not everyone even attains to it because they dont
exercise that faith. They seek to be justified by God through
their own works or the works of the Law. We have to be
very careful, for the Judaizers out there seek to drag us
back under the Law. You will not be in Gods Bride if you
are. You cannot come in the presence of God, as the Bride
did, by seeking to be justified by any portion of the Law.
The Second Throne Experience
Notice that Esther chapter five is the second throne
experience. The first time was back here: (Est.2:16) So
Esther was taken unto King Ahasuerus into his
house royal in the tenth month, which is the month
Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. (17) And
the King loved Esther above all the women, and
she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more
than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown
upon her head, and made her queen instead of
Vashti. That was her first throne experience. The Lord
220
has shown me that in sonship and for the Bride, there are
three throne experiences. Many people think thats a rapture were talking about, but were not. Were referring to a
throne experience, a coming into the presence of the Lord
and His authority and accepting His authority.
Why are there three throne experiences? Its because the
first one represents how we begin our righteous walk with
the Lord, which is the spirit. The second one represents the
soul and the third represents the body. At the last throne
experience, everybody gets a new body.
Going through the Tribulation Period, we see three
throne experiences. The Lord Jesus was anointed to be
King David on his throne when He received the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16). 3 years later, He
was caught up to the throne (17:2). It also seems to represent Revelation 12:5, where the Man-child is caught up to
the throne, in order to teach the Woman in the wilderness.
So, spirit, soul and body correspond to the Holy of Holies,
inner court and outer court. Sometimes the inner court is
called the Holy Place. Those three are likened unto these
three throne experiences, coming ever closer.
We start out with a born-again spirit because then God
can lead our spirit. When the Tabernacle was created, when
the Israelites were finished building it, they dedicated it
and the Shekinah glory of God came to dwell in the Holy
of Holies, the Mercy Seat. Obviously, if youre in the inner
court, youre right before the King and His Mercy Seat. We
come boldly before the throne to receive mercy from Him
in a time of need.
221
The Manifestation of Sonship

I believe that at this point in the book of Esther were
in the middle of the Tribulation Period, the second throne
experience, because this is the time of the threat against
Gods people. Its also the time when Esther goes before the
Lord, represented by the King, to intercede for the people
of God on their behalf. (Est.5:3) Then said the king
unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what
is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the
half of the kingdom. There it is: the Bride is joint-heir
with Christ. Not everybody attains this status of joint-heir.
At this particular time, she was standing in the inner court,
the place of the altar (Revelation 11:1), which is the place of
protection from being trampled under the feet of the Beast
nations. And we see that she was offered the designation
as heir because she had come into the presence of the king.
Not all the people of God are necessarily heirs, as were
told here: (Isa.65:9) And I will bring forth a seed
out of Jacob (Israel), and out of Judah an inheritor
of my mountains (We see that it is Judah, which had its
presence in Jerusalem and was ruled over by David, the
Man-child, or in this case Mordecai, that will inherit Gods
mountains.); and my chosen shall inherit it, and my
servants shall dwell there. Wow! We see that the Bride
is a joint-heir. The king offered Esther the half of his kingdom. Here is a similar statement: (Pro.2:21) For the upright shall dwell in the land, And the perfect shall
remain in it. The Bible says that the bondservant
abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth
for ever (Joh.8:35). Eternal life is the manifestation of
sonship in His people.
222
I pointed out that, according to Galatians chapter three,

were all sons of God through faith, but Galatians chapter
four speaks more about the manifestation of that sonship,
which is bearing fruit. Where do we bear the fruit? We bear
the fruit in the area of the soul. What weve been given in
our spirit has to bear fruit in our soul. Peter told us that
were born again, or begotten again, through our obedience
to the truth. He was speaking about the area of the soul
then. Your soul is begotten again through your obedience
to the truth. So we see that the Bride is in the process and
is evidently ahead of all the virgins. We might say that
Mordecai is the first of the firstfruits, but that the Bride is
the firstfruits out of the rest of the body. Mordecai would
be likened unto David, who is the head of Jerusalem, which
was the head over the rest of the Jews, Israel.
Setting the Trap
(Est.5:4) And Esther said, If it seem good unto
the king, let the king and Haman come this day
unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
She, of course, wanted to address this problem, that the
king had given authority unto the Beast, Haman, to put her
people to death. And to make a long story short, the king
and Haman came but she put off her decision for another
day, in which she would have another banquet.
The Harlots Scheme
(Est.5:9) Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the kings gate, that he stood not up nor
223
moved for him, he was filled with wrath against

Mordecai. (10) Nevertheless Haman refrained
himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched
his friends and Zeresh his wife. (11) And Haman
recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and
the multitude of his children, and all the things
wherein the king had promoted him, and how he
had advanced him above the princes and servants
of the king. (12) Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the
king unto the banquet that she had prepared but
myself; and tomorrow also am I invited by her
together with the king. (13) Yet all this availeth
me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the kings gate. (14) Then said Zeresh his
wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be
made fifty cubits high (The word gallows here, by the
way, is the Hebrew word for tree. The word tree is used
in other places when its representing the cross.), and in
the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing
pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be
made. So Mordecai was to be hanged on a tree.
Zeresh here represents the wife of the Beast, which is
the same relationship we see between Ahab and Jezebel.
Ahab was the 10-horned Beast because he ruled over the
10 northern tribes and Jezebel was the Harlot in the Book
of Revelation, so we see the Beast and the Harlot here. The
Beasts wife, Zeresh, basically said the same thing that the
Harlot did in the Gospels: Crucify Him! they screamed
out (Matthew 27:23). The Harlot of apostate Israel spoke
224
to the Beast to crucify the Man-child Jesus, the exact same

thing were seeing here.
First the Letter, Then the Spirit
We can see that this awesome parable is hiding
many wonderful things that the Lord wants to say to us.
(Pro.25:2) It is the glory of God to conceal a thing;
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
The Lord loves to hide these things from the wise and prudent, but reveal them unto babes (Matthew 11:25). We see
the relationship of the Harlot and the Beast coming against
the Man-child, in order to crucify him.
I want to tell you something I learned about the endtimes. In Jesus day, there was a physical crucifying and it
was physical because the Man-child was a physical Manchild, a Jew even in the flesh. In the end-times, were talking
about a Jew in the spirit, one who is circumcised in heart
and the Man-child in spirit. This is because its a corporate
body among the spiritual Jews, who are circumcised in
heart, not in flesh. When we see a parallel like that, thats
going from letter to spirit, we dont want to mix it up. In the
end-times, theres also going to be a spiritual crucifixion of
the Man-child and everybody who enters into the Kingdom,
which is the death of self. The Beast is going to bring about
the death of self in the Man-child ministry.
The Beast in the Outer Court
So as we read on down, well see more here. (Est.6:1)
On that night could not the king sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chroni-
225
cles, and they were read before the king. (2) And it
was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the kings chamberlains,
of those that kept the threshold, who had sought
to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus. (3) And the
king said, What honor and dignity hath been bestowed on Mordecai for this? (Its very coincidental
that the Lord did this at this time, at the last minute, obviously, because Haman had just decided to try to get the
King to crucify Mordecai.) Then said the kings servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing
done for him. (4) And the king said, Who is in the
court? Now Haman was come into the outward
court of the kings house. We know that the outer
court represents the flesh.
In the Old Testament, many wicked people came into
the outer court, but only the priests came into the inner
court and only the High Priest came into the Holy of
Holies. So here we see that Haman, the Beast, has actually
come into the court of the kings house. That represents
the flesh. The Beast is the flesh, the outer man, the old
man. (4) And the king said, Who is in the court?
Now Haman was come into the outward court of
the kings house, to speak unto the king to hang
Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for
him. (5) And the kings servants said unto him,
Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the
king said, Let him come in. (6) So Haman came
in. And the king said unto him, What shall be
done unto the man whom the king delighteth to
honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom
would the king delight to do honor more than to
226
myself? (7) And Haman said unto the king, For

the man whom the king delighteth to honor, (8)
let royal apparel be brought which the king useth
to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon,
and on the head of which a crown royal is set: (9)
and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to
the hand of one of the kings most noble princes,
that they may array the man therewith whom the
king delighteth to honor, and cause him to ride
on horseback through the street of the city, and
proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the
man whom the king delighteth to honor.
The Man-child Honored
This is very interesting. The Man-child ministries
throughout the Bible were protected and honored of the
Lord. Jesus triumphant Palm Sunday entrance into Jerusalem comes to mind and He even rode in on a donkey.
Joseph is a good example. He came to honor; he was under the dominion of the Pharaoh and he ruled. Moses was
protected of the Lord. Have you ever questioned, since
Moses brought such pain to Pharaoh, why he didnt just
kill Moses? Its because Pharaoh feared him and because
God protected him. And Daniel was one of three presidents
over the whole kingdom of Darius, who happened to be the
son of Ahasuerus, by the way. As you know, the other two
presidents were eaten by the lions because they tricked the
king into making an edict whereby Daniel could not pray
to his own God. Of course, Daniel continued to pray to our
God and God saved him, even when he was thrown into the
den of lions. The others didnt fare so well when they were
227
later thrown in. Daniel was at the head of the kingdom, for
goodness sake.
This Man-child ministry is going to be a head on planet
Earth, protected by God. Notice the circumstances here:
And Haman said unto the king. Haman, representing the
Beast, wanted to kill the Man-child, but was not permitted.
Instead, he ended up honoring the Man-child and fearing
him.
The Rider on the White Horse
(Est.6:8) Let royal apparel be brought which
the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king
rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown
royal is set. The Man-child is wearing the royal apparel
that the King wears! Oh, glory to God! Thats awesome!
The Bible says to, put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the
lusts [thereof] (Rom.13:14). Put off the works of the
flesh and put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Thats putting on
the works and the nature of the King. The Man-child is going to have this royal apparel on. We see that the King, in
Revelation 19:11, rides a big, white horse. Isnt it also interesting that the Man-child in Revelation chapter six also
rides a white horse, the kind of horse that the King rides.
(Rev.6:1) And I saw when the Lamb opened one
of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder,
Come. (2) And I saw, and behold, a white horse,
and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was
given unto him a crown (Notice hes sitting on a white
horse with a crown.): and he came forth conquering,
228
and to conquer. I know people think that this is the Antichrist and some people think its the coming of the Lord,
but this is at the beginning of the Tribulation Period and
the Lord doesnt come then.
As we can see, the Bride is still going through the Tribulation Period and the Man-child is going through it. None
of them flew away. But every time theres a Man-child ministry, there is this same judgment upon the earth. Moses,
for instance, was the white horse rider and he brought
judgment upon Egypt. This seal in Revelation was the first
judgment thats loosed upon the world. The Man-child of
the end-time is coming in the nature, character and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, but this time Jesus is coming
as a Lion, not necessarily as a Lamb.
He has a bow in his hand. (Psa.127:4) As arrows in
the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of
youth. (5) Happy is the man that hath his quiver
full of them. This speaks of Jesus sending forth His
Two Witnesses, two by two. The Man-child in the Gospels
did this and the Man-child of the end-time is going to do
the exact same thing. He will send forth these Witnesses,
which also bring judgment upon the earth, as do the Two
Witnesses of Revelation 11. Who raised up the Two Witnesses? Jesus, as the Man-child, raised up the two corporate Witnesses, two by two, and in the end-time, the Manchild, who is a corporate body worldwide, will also raise up
two corporate Witnesses worldwide.
Were talking about people who are going forth to speak
the judgments that are coming upon the face of the earth.
Revelation chapter six is a great judgment that brings in
all the other horse riders after. Ive made the point for
many years that this is the Man-child because thats what
229
the Lord revealed to me. Its not the Antichrist; its not,
personally, the Lord. But Hes riding a white horse and
wearing a crown, exactly as did Mordecai, and with the
Kings apparel. Hes dressed up with the Lord Jesus Christ
and is the visible presence of the Lord on the earth. He is
the firstfruits of those to come into His likeness and he is
being honored, permitted to go through the streets of the
city, which is probably Babylon, riding on the white horse
with the royal crown upon his head. Glory to God! God has
a sense of humor, doesnt He? Everybody loves this part in
the Book of Esther, how the Beast had the idea to crucify
Mordecai, but instead was forced to honor Mordecai. It was
so with Daniel; it was so with Moses; it was so with Joseph;
it was so with every Man-child in the Bible.
The Beast Shall Not Prevail
(Est.6:10) Then the king said to Haman, Make
haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou
hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew,
that sitteth at the kings gate: let nothing fail of
all that thou hast spoken. (11) Then took Haman
the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of
the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall
it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor. (12) And Mordecai came again to
the kings gate. But Haman hasted to his house,
mourning and having his head covered. (13) And
Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his
friends everything that had befallen him. Then
said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him,

If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall,

be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail
against him, but shalt surely fall before him. So
God is giving credit for the fall of the Beast to Mordecai.
If he be of the seed of the Jews; we need to think
about that. Do you know of whom we are the seed? The
whole New Testament is the seed of the Word of God. Jesus
taught us the Parable of the Sower that He went forth and
sowed and the seed was the Word of God. If this Word lives
in us, then we are the seed of the Jews because they are the
ones who wrote the New Testament. If the seed that Jesus
sowed through them, through the Word of God, lives in us,
then were the seed of the Jews. And notice, (Est.6:13) If
Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall,
be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail
against him, but shalt surely fall before him. Wow!
Thats awesome! The Man-child ministry is obviously the
seed of the Jews. He is the Word made flesh. Jesus lives
in these people; they are the firstfruits unto God, the
ministry that God is raising to lead the Church back into
righteousness.
Are We the Seed of the Jews?
What an awesome picture we see here, that if we want
to be in the Man-child, then we have to be of the seed of the
Jews. That Word must also live in us. We must also be the
Word made flesh. Obviously, the Bride was also dressed
up with the righteousness that comes through obedience
to the Word of God. Theres a really low premium on obedience nowadays, but none of these ministries that were
talking about has missed the fact that they must be obe-
231
dient and they are serving the King. They are serving the
people of God and, because of these particular ministries,
many people of God are going to be spared in the time to
come. Praise be to God!
CHAPTER TWELVE
Day of Wrath/End-time Passover
Weve learned that Haman, who represents the Beast,
has received authority from the King of kings to pronounce
judgment upon Gods people. We saw that this was during
the Tribulation Period and the persecution begins in earnest at the middle of the Period, when the Beast, according to Revelation 13, makes war on the saints. (Est.3:13)
And letters were sent by posts into all the kings
provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children
and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth
[day] of the twelfth month, which is the month
Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
We discovered that Mordecai, whose name in Hebrew
means little man and in Persian little boy, represents
the Man-child, a corporate body of the firstfruits in Revelation 12, to come into the image of Christ. Did you know that
we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the
same image from glory to glory (2Co.3:18)? These
are going to be the firstfruits to come into that image. We
should be walking in that kind of faith; we should have
been doing it for 2000 years, but its been robbed from us
by a group of people who have basically been selling their
traditions.
So Mordecai, as a type of the Man-child, charged Esther,
who was the Bride chosen out of all the fair virgins in the
kingdom to be the bride of the King of kings, with the
mission of making supplication unto the king on behalf of
233
the people because the Beast had taken authority that was
given to him by the king to destroy them. Throughout the
history of the world, the Beast has been given authority
from the King to come against His people, usually for the
purpose of putting to death their old flesh because they
refuse their cross. They refuse to be obedient to the Lord.
God is taking credit every time. We cannot deny it; its all
the way through the Scriptures that He has given authority
to the Beast to conquer His people when theyre in rebellion.
Identifying and Naming the Adversary
Lets pick up where we left off in the last chapter.
(Est.7:1) So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. (2) And the king said
again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther?
and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be
performed. (3) Then Esther the queen answered
and said, If I have found favor in thy sight, O king,
and if it please the king, let my life be given me at
my petition, and my people at my request: (4) for
we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to
be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for
bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace,
although the adversary could not have compensated for the kings damage. (5) Then spake the
king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen,
Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume
in his heart to do so? (6) And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman.
234
Then Haman was afraid before the king and the

queen. Haman was guilty of attempting to destroy the people of God, but he had authority from the King to do this,
and so does the Beast in our day. The Church is worldwide
today, a spiritual Israel that is worldwide, and the Church
is in rebellion, just as the Jews were, so God has raised up
a worldwide Beast to come against His people.
I will point out that in the New Testament there is no
individual man who is the Beast. Its just not there, not to
be found. There is no individual man called the Antichrist,
as much as we hear these things. In this passage, Esther is
calling Haman an adversary. Now, who is the adversary?
Satan. In Revelation 12, we see a vision of a great red dragon with seven heads and 10 horns. Who does the Scripture
say this red dragon is? Satan. How can that be? Because
he is the father of all the lost, even the lost people of God.
Jesus said to the Jews, Ye are of [your] father the
devil (Joh.8:44). He inhabits the body of a dragon with
seven heads and 10 horns.
The seven heads are identified in both Daniel and
Revelation as Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Media-Persia,
Greece, Rome and, now, a revived Rome. Theyre already
identified. Were talking about an empire in our day which
incorporates all of the seed of the previous world-ruling
kingdoms that conquered Israel. The Scripture tells us the
horns are 10 kings. We know from the Club of Rome that for
many, many years they have planned to make 10 continental
divisions on Planet Earth, in order to do away with national
and racial boundaries and make a government that crosses
over these boundary lines, in order to do away with these
divisions that cause war. But Satan inhabits a body of
seven heads and 10 horns, a dragon Beast. We know that
235
the One World proponents already have it in their heart.

Its actually written in the Constitution for the Federation
of Earth to divide the earth up into these 10 kingdoms
and that its going to come in stages. The first stage is the
dragon of Revelation 12; the second stage is the Beast of
Revelation 13. We see here that this adversary, whom the
Bible calls Satan, inhabits a body of all lost mankind and
that when the New Testament speaks of the Beast, it doesnt
identify an individual man, it identifies this seven-headed,
10-horned Beast.
Two Men in the Field
John, where he speaks of antichrist, doesnt refer to
an individual, either. (1Jn.4:1) Beloved, believe not
every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they
are of God; because many false prophets are gone
out into the world. (So hes talking about proving the
spirits in people.) (2) Hereby know ye the Spirit of
God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh is of God: (3) and every spirit
that confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is
the [spirit] of the antichrist (Do you see that the antichrist is a corporate spirit of all lost mankind, whose spirit
does not confess that Christ is in them? Its very plain.),
whereof ye have heard that it cometh; and now it
is in the world already. Because its always been in the
world and lost mankind is a part of the image of the Beast,
as Daniel chapter three shows us; and Daniel chapter two
identifies all the kingdoms, one right after another. The
kingdoms of all the people were in the body of the image
of the Beast. So here we see the antichrist Beast again. (4)
236
Ye are of God, [my] little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you
than he that is in the world.
He who is in us is Christ; he who is in the world is
antichrist. There are only two men. Jesus said in that day,
Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken,
and one is left (Mat.24:40). What was He meaning?
Just exactly what it says. There are only two corporate
men on earth. Remember that the spirit of the antichrist
involves everyone whose spirit does not confess that Jesus
Christ is in them. So, He whos in you and he whos in the
world there are only two people on earth.
One-World Beast
Going back to our parable, in Esther chapter seven, lets
see what Haman represents here. Haman was the one who
gave the edict to the rest of the people of all the provinces
of the kingdom to destroy the Jews. He would represent
the head of the body of the Beast. As a matter of fact, as we
read on down, we see that Haman made a gallows in order
to hang Mordecai.
We found that Mordecai the Man-child also represents
a corporate body who was the head of the Bride. John the
Baptist, as he saw Jesus leading the disciples, said, He
that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom(Joh.3:29)
and Jesus was the Man-child. Theres a head of the Beast
and theres a head of Christ. The new leadership that
God is raising up for His people is none other than Christ
manifested in His firstfruits Man-child. The antithesis of
this is the head of the Beast and, today, this is what we
would now call the United Nations. I agree that the name
237
may be changed, but this is the head over all nations. Its
also the Beast on which the Harlot rides today.
Day of Wrath, Year of Recompense
Lets see what happens to this Beast and Mordecai.
(Est.7:6) And Esther said, An adversary and an
enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman
was afraid before the king and the queen. (7) And
the king arose in his wrath. Notice the king arose
in his wrath. The 70th week of Daniel is made up of seven
days, each one of which represents a year, the seven years
of Tribulation. After those seven years comes another year,
which is called the Day of Wrath. After the trumpet judgments, after the seal judgments, which are in the Tribulation from beginning to end, come the judgments of the
bowls (or vials) of the wrath of God. They last for a year.
(Mat.24:37) And as [were] the days of Noah, so
shall be the coming of the Son of man. In the days of
Noah, God told him that after seven days (Genesis 7:4) the
Flood would come. And after seven days, what happened?
There was a year of the Flood upon the earth. The seven
days represent the seven years of the Tribulation Period
and the eighth year represents the Day of Wrath, or the
Day of the Lord, something which the Bible says comes after the seven days.
(29) But immediately after the tribulation of
those days the sun shall be darkened, and the
moon shall not give her light. (Act.2:20) The sun
shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into
blood, Before the day of the Lord come, That great
and notable [day]. (Isa.34:8) For the Lord hath a
238
day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the

cause of Zion. So we see that the Day of Gods vengeance
is one year. There are seven years and then one more year
until the end. That extra year to Noah was the year that
the Flood was upon the earth. When you see wrath in the
Scriptures, or day of Wrath, or day of the Lord, then
think about this Day, because its just one day, a spiritual
Day.
The End of the Beasts Wrath
If we look in the book of Esther, we see wrath mentioned just a few times, but every time its very significant.
The first time its mentioned is Esther 2:1, when Ahasuerus
rejected Vashti from being his queen. Jesus prophesied of
the wrath that was coming on Israel because they didnt
know the day of their visitation (Luke 19:44). They rejected
their King; they rejected their Messiah and wrath came to
the uttermost. In 70 A.D., they were wiped out as a nation,
their Covenant was wiped away, their city was destroyed
and right here in Esther, when the king remembered
Vashti, is where his wrath is mentioned. (Est.2:1) After
these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus
was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what
she had done, and what was decreed against her.
The next time wrath is mentioned is the wrath of Haman against Mordecai. We know that 2000 years ago, God
rejected a Bride and began to choose a new Bride out of
all the fair virgins of the Kingdom. We saw that wrath and
now this wrath in our time when Haman, who represents
the Beast, hates and wants to kill Mordecai. (Est.5:9)
Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad
239
of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the

kings gate, that he stood not up nor moved for
him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Of course, Hamans wife, who represents the Harlot, advised him to build a gallows and basically crucify him.
Thats exactly what happened 2000 years ago with Christ.
The Harlot was in bed with the Roman Beast and they said,
Crucify Him! So we can see that Esther follows right along
with the Man-child ministry. In that day it was Jesus and
the Harlot, Israel; and the Bride were those disciples who
came out of Israel to faithfully follow Him.
Now history is repeating again in our day and when we
look back in Esther chapter seven, when the king arose
in his wrath, we see the same principle. The Beast has a
ministry and its the same ministry the Beast has always
had: to bring Gods people to their cross. What did the
Roman Beast do? They brought the body of Christ to His
cross; they nailed Him on His cross. He couldnt do it for
Himself; they had to do it. Theres a spiritual meaning
there. Its Gods plan and every generation Gods people
take up their cross and follow Jesus, but they find it hard
to do it without help, so God helps. He sends the Beast as a
vessel of dishonor to bring Gods people to their cross. The
Tribulation Period, especially the last 3 years, is when the
persecution against the saints will be in earnest. Revelation
13 tells us that the Beast is going to make war on the saints
for those 3 years. Here, in Esther chapter seven, we see
that the king arose in His wrath.
The Beasts Undoing
As we read on down, we see that theres a beginning and
240
an end of this wrath that has to do with the destruction of

Haman. After the seven days, the floodwaters are coming
upon the earth as a Day of Wrath to destroy the Beast and,
I might add, those apostates who prove to be members of
the Beast, rather than members of the body of Christ, even
many of Gods people. What did Jesus say to the Jews? Ye
are of [your] father the devil (Joh.8:44), the Adversary, the Dragon, the Beast. History repeats; it just repeats in larger ways, thats all. So here we go again, folks,
this time in the corporate body of the Man-child and the
corporate body of the Beast.
You may say, Well, David, in the Old Testament, there
was Antiochus Epiphanes, but let me point something
out. When we come from the Old Testament to the New,
we go from individual types to corporate types. We know
that because, as soon as Jesus shed the Blood of the New
Covenant, the body of Christ turned into a corporate body.
Jesus came at the end of the Old Covenant to preach. As
soon as His work was done, as soon as He was crucified,
the body of Christ was born. The Blood and the Water that
came out of His side represented them. So in the New Testament, He is a corporate body.
Now, what about Antichrist? We just read 1 John chapter four and we just quoted Revelation 12 and 13, where we
are told the Beast is a very large corporate body of all lost
mankind, with seven heads and 10 horns. Haman, in this
instance, is like Ahab, who was the 10-horned Beast in his
day. He ruled over the 10 northern tribes of apostate Israel
and they worshipped the image of the Beast. His wife was
also Jezebel, the Harlot. Everybody recognizes the Harlots
corporate body, but not the corporate body of the Beast. So
Zeresh, Hamans wife, who said, Crucify him and Let a
241
gallows be built, represents the Harlot and Haman represents the Beast.
We just read that the king found out about the Beasts
persecution of his Bride. (Est.7:7) And the king arose
in his wrath from the banquet of wine [and went]
into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to
make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he
saw that there was evil determined against him by
the king. (8) Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine;
and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon
Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force
the queen before me in the house? (God had set that
up, hadnt He? He probably tripped him.) As the word
went out of the kings mouth, they covered Hamans face. (9) Then said Harbonah, one of the
chamberlains that were before the king, Behold
also, the gallows (actually, the word is tree, likened in
the Scriptures to the cross) fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for
the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the
king said, Hang him thereon. (10) So they hanged
Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for
Mordecai. Then was the kings wrath pacified.
Thats the beginning and the end of the wrath and it had to
do with the destruction of the Beast.
Once again, that is truly what the wrath is all about.
People who have proven themselves to be members of the
Antichrist, Christian or not, have the Mark of the Beast in
their forehead or in their hand, which means that they walk
after the mind or the works of the flesh. There is a physical
mark coming to identify them as a member of the body of
242
the Beast. This day of wrath or day of vengeance (Isaiah

34:8) is one year and its going to be the destruction of the
Beast.
The Enemy Is Caught in His Own Trap
Notice that Haman was hanged on the gallows that he
had prepared for Mordecai. Thats a common theme with
the Man-child ministry, as we are going to discover. David, in Psalm 57, was the Man-child in his day. Jesus came
to sit upon the throne of David. Psalm 57 speaks of David
when he was in the cave, surrounded by Sauls army. He
was encompassed about by people who wanted to kill him,
to destroy him, like Mordecai. (Psa.57:1) Be merciful
unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; For my soul
taketh refuge in thee: Yea, in the shadow of thy
wings will I take refuge, until [these] calamities
be overpast.
The phrase shadow of thy wings reminds us of Psalm
91, which says the same thing. And the phrase until [these]
calamities be overpast certainly reminds us of being in the
safety of the ark. One day God spoke to me about Psalm 91,
that there was going to be a corporate fulfillment of it in the
time of the Wrath, or the Day of the Lord, a corporate Psalm
91 Passover. When Gods people came out of Egypt (a type
of the world), they held the Passover. God passed over the
Israelites because they had the blood of the lamb on their
doorposts and He destroyed the Egyptians. Another type
of that happened at the Red Sea, when the Red Sea opened
up and there was a baptism, as Paul called it. (1Co.10:2)
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and
in the sea. This wiped out the old man and the new man
243
came up on the other side. The old man was the Egyptian
and the new man the Israelite. Praise be to God!
Folks, there is going to be another Passover. God is going to preserve His people. Remember, Noah entered into
the ark after seven days. He was there for 40 days while the
storm came down, when the waters of the great deep were
broken up and the waters lifted the ark off the earth after
40 days. But he sat there in the ark for the beginning of the
Wrath of God. After the seven days, a year of wrath started and he was there while the rains came. For 40 days he
was protected, just like Psalm 91 said, Only with thine
eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the
wicked (Psa.91:8). (11) For he will give his angels
charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. (12)
They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou
dash thy foot against a stone.
Once again, there is a spiritual ark coming, where Gods
people are going to be preserved and the trap that the Beast
has set to destroy all of Gods people is going to be reversed.
The Beast himself is going to be hanged on the gallows he
designed for Mordecai. (Psa.57:2) I will cry unto God
Most High, Unto God that performeth [all things]
for me. (Picture David in the cave with the armies around
him.) (3) He will send from heaven, and save me,
[When] he that would swallow me up reproacheth
(Remember the dragon in Jeremiah 51:34 that had swallowed up Israel.); God will send forth his lovingkindness and his truth. (4) My soul is among lions
(Think about David in that cave. What lions was he talking
about? These people were out there ready to devour him
and his little group in that cave. He was in a bad situation,
if they found out where he was.); I lie among them that
244
are set on fire, Even the sons of men (Notice the lions
are sons of men.), whose teeth are spears and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
Remember Daniel, also a type of the Man-child ruling
over the kingdom of Gods people, was one of three presidents over all the satraps, the governors of the kingdom.
Two of those presidents colluded to get authority from the
king to make another edict, just like we read here, to trick
Daniel so that he would be thrown into the lions den. But it
was the two presidents who rose up against him who ended
up being devoured by those lions. They were devoured in
his stead. The Beast could not touch Daniel.
(Psa.57:5) Be thou exalted, O God, above the
heavens; [Let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
(This is just like Mordecai, who also escaped. Every Manchild we see here escapes.) (6) They have prepared a
net for my steps; My soul is bowed down: They
have digged a pit before me (Remember that when
those men and their families were thrown into the den of
lions, they were devoured before they hit the bottom.);
They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves.
There it is again, the same thing. What Haman had built to
destroy Mordecai destroyed Haman himself. We can see
that David, Mordecai and Daniel all seemed to be fulfilling
the exact same type here.
End of the 70th Week
Another passage Id like to look at, concerning the endtime Beast, is in Daniel. The interpretation of the parable is
given. (Dan.7:23) Thus he said, The fourth beast.
By the way, this was the sixth Beast because Daniel didnt
245
start counting with Egypt; he started with Babylon, which

was in his day. He skipped the first two major Beast kingdoms. So when we read fourth beast in Daniel, that is
the sixth Beast in Revelation and also the seventh because
the thighs and legs went all the way down to the toes of
the Roman Empire. This is the last Beast hes talking about
here. John doesnt see any break in it whatsoever. Daniel
doesnt see any break in his Beast, either. (23) Thus he
said, The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom
upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the
kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and
shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. This is
different because now were not talking about a local Beast
to little Israel. Were talking about a corporate worldwide
Beast to New Testament, spiritual, worldwide Israel, which
is the Church. So its different (diverse from all the kingdoms) than the rest because it devours the whole earth.
This beast kingdom has seven heads and 10 horns and
covers the whole earth. Inside its body is the whole earth.
There are only two men in the earth now: Christ and Antichrist. (24) And as for the ten horns, out of this
kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall
arise after them (And, of course, thats the little horn
that comes up among the 10 horns. People dont know
what the little horn is. The little horn is also a different
kind of kingdom because its a corporate body of religious
people. It has a head called the False Prophet and the body
is the Harlot. The little horn came up among the 10 horns,
which are 10 kings.); and he shall be diverse from the
former (Thats the little horn, which is different because
this is a religious kingdom among secular kingdoms a
religious corporate body among secular corporate bodies.),
246
and he shall put down three kings. (Dan.7:25) And

he shall speak words against the Most High, and
shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he
shall think to change the times and the law; and
they shall be given into his hand until a time and
times and half a time. Thats the second 3 years of
the Tribulation Period, according to Revelation 13, when
the Beast makes war on the saints.
Why would God give the saints into the hand of the
Beast? He does so because His people, at this time, are rebellious. They refuse to take up their cross and follow Jesus; they refuse to agree with the Word of God; they refuse
to walk with Him, submitting to His Word. So God is helping us until the flesh has been overcome because we have
a beast, too. Thats this old man whos in agreement with
the world around us. The Spirit and the flesh are at enmity with one another. (Gal.5:17) For the flesh lusteth
against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh;
for these are contrary the one to the other. The
flesh agrees with the world. God will, therefore, permit the
Beast to persecute the saints for 3 years and literally to
put to death their old man. God wants to finish this job, so
some people will have to physically die in order for them to
lose their life in this world. We can lose our life (our psuch,
in Greek; our soulish life), the old man, or well have to lose
our physical life.
Theres only one way to enter the Kingdom: we have to
die. If God has to put our physical flesh to death, in order
to put our soulish flesh to death, He will do it. There are
some people, however, who are going to remain physically
alive until the coming of the Lord and its because theyre
faithful. (Dan.7:26) But the judgment shall be
247
set, and they shall take away his dominion, to

consume and to destroy it unto the end. (27) And
the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness
of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be
given to the people of the saints of the Most High:
his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all
dominions shall serve and obey him.
Enemies Under Our Feet
Well, notice the very next words back in our text in
Esther: (Est.8:1) On that day (What day? The Day of
the Lord. We just saw the Day of Wrath there, from verse
seven down to verse 10 the beginning of His wrath to the
end of His wrath.) did the king Ahasuerus give the
house of Haman the Jews enemy unto Esther the
queen. Aha! Thats exactly what we see here in Daniel. The
authority is given unto the saints of God. Remember, when
the saints are in the ark and, after 40 days of seeing the
Wrath of God, the ark is lifted off the earth; they are above
the flood thats upon the earth. Under their feet is this flood
destroying lost mankind. In the end-time, its not a physical
flood, its a spiritual flood, the wrath of destruction. Still,
its under the dominion of Gods people, under their feet as
they are lifted off. We see that its given unto them to take
away and destroy the kingdom of the Beast.
Authority of the Saints
In Revelation 11, when the Beast is making war on the
saints during the last 3 years, dont think that the saints
are helpless. The Two Witnesses, who are also a corporate
248
body of people, are making war on the Beast, as the Beast

is making war on the saints. (Rev.11:5) And if any man
desireth to hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their
mouth and devoureth their enemies (Remember
what happened with Elijah. The king sent his Beast army
out there to get Elijah and, instead, Elijah brought fire down
on them and burnt them up.); and if any man shall desire to hurt them, in this manner must he be killed.
(6) These have the power to shut the heaven, that
it rain not during the days of their prophecy: and
they have power over the waters to turn them into
blood, and to smite the earth with every plague,
as often as they shall desire.
In this warfare, Gods people are given authority to
smite the earth with the plagues that we see in the book of
Revelation. These are similar to the plagues that we see in
Exodus, that were coming out of Moses when he brought
judgment upon the Egyptians. So dont think that the only
wrath on the Beast is after the Tribulation, during the great
Day of Wrath. There will also be judgments on the Beast in
the warfare during the 3 years.
Bearing Fruit in the Tribulation
Why is it that God gives His people into the hand of the
Beast? Its because there is a circumcision that has to come
to pass, a cutting off of the old man. Have you noticed in
the book of Esther how the Jews are saved? Theyre saved
from the Beast and people think, Oh, boy! We dont have
to die! But we always have to die. Theres only one way to
enter the Kingdom, according to Jesus: we have to die.
But we dont necessarily have to die physically. The
249
Jews escaped. Why is that? Because this is a spiritual parable. Who is a Jew? (Rom.2:28) For he is not a Jew
who is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh (It might be said,
Well, thats talking about the natural Jew. Yes, but this is
not a Jew, either; this old man here is not the Jew. And it
might also be said, In the New Testament, a natural Jew
is not necessarily a spiritual Jew. Thats true but, also, for
we who are spiritual Jews, let me say that this old man is
not a Jew; its the inner man that is the Jew.): (29) but he
is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is
that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter.
The spiritual man is the Jew. You cannot kill the spiritual
man. He cannot die. So, who is a Jew? A Jew is one who is
circumcised in heart, which means that the flesh has been
cut off; the Jew is the inner man whose heart has been circumcised of flesh. Thats who the Jew is.
When we read the book of Esther, we may think, It
cant be a parable of the end-time because we know people
are going to die. But Jews cant die. Jesus said the same
thing in the New Testament: (Joh.11:26) And whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die.
You will never die, He said. Who was He talking about?
The real Jew, the inner man who is born from above, which
means more than just having your spirit born again. Its
also your soul being born again, in your obedience to
the truth (1Pe.1:22). And then, ultimately, you also get
a body that is born again.
So born again is more than just accepting Jesus as
your Savior. Thats just getting your toe in the door. Now
you have to bear fruit. But the inner man is the spiritual
Jew. Were not Jews in the flesh. Obviously, anybody can
250
look at Gentiles and tell that theyre not Jews in the flesh.
The Jew is the inner man; he is eternal and he cannot die.
Since the Beast cannot destroy him, what can the Beast do?
Circumcision, crucifixion he can do that; thats his job.
The eternal man is going to be spared and a lot of people
who are already dead are not going to have to physically die.
(1Th.4:15) For this we say unto you by the word of
the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto
the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede
them that are fallen asleep. Theyre going to be alive
and remain unto the coming of the Lord. But we have to
die. Youre either going to have to die to your old, carnal
flesh, or youre going to have to die physically in order to
get rid of that old man. It has to happen. And, by the way,
while youre here doing that, you have to bear fruit 30-, 60and 100-fold. Thats the inner man. Thats the Jew. Thats
why the Beast was given authority to overcome the saints,
according to Revelation 13.
The Point of No Return
What part of the saints is the Beast overcoming? Well,
Father speaks about the Beast destroying the power of His
saints: (Dan.12:7) when they have made an end
of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. This speaks of
breaking the power of the old man, the power of the selflife. We pretty much take care of ourselves, but the Lord
doesnt want that. His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), so Hes bringing us to a place of
weakness.
We see that during the last 3 years, there is going to
251
be war made on the saints, but the saints are not going to
be helpless in this war. They will be able to speak judgment
because God is offering no more grace to the people who
take the Mark of the Beast. No more grace. The reason
we Resist not him that is evil (Mat.5:39) and we
have to do that in the Tribulation, too (For all they
that take the sword shall perish with the sword
(Mat.26:52), were warned), is because God is offering
grace to the people around us. But theres coming a time
when God is not offering any more grace and Gods people
are going to have the power to speak judgment upon those
who try to destroy them. This is going to happen during the
last 3 years of the age.
The Fiery Furnace That Burns Our Bonds
The persecution of the saints during that time is going
to bring about a circumcision, a crucifixion of the old man,
and many are going to be alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord. Some are going to die and theyre going to
lose their head. Praise God! We all need to lose our head;
we need to grow up in all things into Him who is the head,
Who is Jesus Christ. But some are going to die physically.
Others are going to die spiritually, but we all have to die
and the Beast is there to help us. Even though it is a vessel
of dishonor, in that it is the lost people of the world, in that
it is the lost so-called Christians around us who persecute
us and so on, we still have to die. God has a plan and its
beautiful; its going to work.
We are the ones who are going to inherit the Kingdom.
Were the ones who are going to tear down the kingdom
of the Beast. God, in His saints, is going to tear the Beast
252
kingdom down. The judgments in the book of Revelation

are coming upon the world for the same reason that they
came upon Egypt in Moses day: not to destroy the Israelite,
but to set the Israelite free from bondage to the flesh-man,
the one who died in the waters at baptism by the Red Sea,
the Egyptian. He set them free from that Egyptian. All those
judgments were for that purpose. Theyre not to kill you
and me; theyre to help us. Those people were set free from
Egypt. There was a Passover and thats what is coming for
us, too. Were going to be set free. The Beast kingdom is
going to be destroyed, including the Beast kingdom that
this old man is a member of. It will be destroyed glory be
to God!
Authority of New Jerusalem
(Est.8:1) On that day did the king Ahasuerus
give the house of Haman the Jews enemy unto
Esther the queen. (We found that the queen represented
those people who dwelt in the New Jerusalem, not all the
cities outside. This is a spiritual city that is being born from
above. The head of that city was David, who was the Manchild, and he is represented by Mordecai in this chapter.)
And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther
had told what he was unto her. (2) And the king
took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman,
and gave it unto Mordecai. (Mordecai received the
authority of the Kingdom. The Beast has authority to
destroy the people of God but, notice, Esther and Mordecai,
that is, the Bride and the Man-child, have authority to save
the people of God.) And Esther set Mordecai over the
house of Haman. In other words, God gave the house of
253
Haman unto the Bride and the Bride willingly submitted to

the authority of Mordecai.
The Same Story in Different Parables
Were going to see the same parable worked out in the
rest of chapters eight and nine because Esther is like the
book of Revelation. Notice how the book of Revelation tells
a story in parable form, then tells it again, then tells it again
and tells it again. Esther is doing the same thing in a different parable form and, as we read through it, well see that.
In Revelation 12, for instance, it starts at the beginning of
the Tribulation Period and it goes for 3 years. Chapter 13
goes for another 3 years, so the whole Tribulation Period
is included in those two chapters. Then, chapter 14 starts
over with 144,000 firstfruits, who are the same people as
the Man-child. It starts over and it goes all the way to the
Day of Wrath. Then, chapter 15 starts again with the Day
of Wrath and chapters 15 and 18 speak about the bowls of
wrath that are poured out.
It keeps telling the same story, but a little different parable all the way through the book of Revelation. Esther is
doing the same thing. We just read a mini-parable of the
destruction of the Beast and the people of God receiving
the authority, the Bride in particular. The Bride is the one
whom we found to be a joint-heir with Christ. Not everybody is going to be joint-heir with Christ. The Bride is not
all the virgins, queens and concubines. The Bride is the
Bride, the most beautiful of all, and the head of the Bride
and a part of the Bride is the Man-child. David dwelt in Jerusalem, which John said was the Bride. The whole body of
the Bride dwells in Jerusalem, as a corporate body. In the
254
next chapter, well continue on with another parable of the

end-time that basically tells the same thing.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Reversal of Judgment
(Est.8:3) And Esther spake yet again before the
king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him
with tears to put away the mischief of Haman
the Agagite, and his device that he had devised
against the Jews. What kind of a device is meant here?
First, we discovered that Haman represents the Beast.
(Est.3:5) And when Haman saw that Mordecai
bowed not down, nor did him reverence, then was
Haman full of wrath. (6) But he thought scorn to
lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made
known to him the people of Mordecai: wherefore
Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were
throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus,
even the people of Mordecai. The people of Mordecai are those who would not bow down to the image of the
Beast. So what was the device that Haman devised against
them? Well, he reminded the king that these peoples laws
were different from every other people and that they didnt
keep the kings laws, in verse eight.
Of course, we know that is the problem with Christianity today: they have a different law than everybody else
on this earth, but they also are not keeping the Kings laws
and thats why tribulation is coming. Hamans device was
that he asked of the king authority to destroy these people
and the king gave it to him. (12) Then were the kings
scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth
day thereof; and there was written according
to all that Haman commanded unto the kings
256
satraps, and to the governors that were over every

province, and to the princes of every people, to
every province according to the writing thereof,
and to every people after their language (Again,
we discovered that this was referring to the Bible.); in the
name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was
sealed with the kings ring. (Est.3:13) And letters
were sent by posts into all the kings provinces, to
destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews,
both young and old, little children and women,
in one day, even upon the thirteenth [day] of the
twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to
take the spoil of them for a prey.
The Killing Field
So the Beast is out to kill all of the Jews. Of course, the
application here is to New Testament Jews, those who are
circumcised in heart, not in flesh; those who are Jews in
Spirit and not in letter, as were told in Romans 2:28-29.
Also, these things happened unto them (the Jews)
admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are
come (1Co.10:11). A translation of this would be that
those who did not bow down to the Beast were doomed to
be destroyed.
Sentenced to Death
We know from other places in the Bible, like Daniel,
chapters two through four, that the Beast is given authority
to come against Gods people. Daniel chapter two speaks
257
about the image of the Beast and the image is a snapshot of

who the Beast is. What we see there is the image of worldruling empires and all the people under them, from Daniels day all the way to the end-time. Thats the image of the
Beast: all lost mankind.
When we look in chapter three, we see that Nebuchadnezzar made an image of this vision that he had of
all lost mankind, whose height was 60 cubits and whose
breadth was six cubits. It was built on the plain of Dura,
which means a dwelling or circle, or the earth, which
has a value of 600, bringing our numerical total to 666.
Thats interesting. We know that this is the image of the
Beast that does include all lost mankind. The peoples were
commanded to bow down to this image of the Beast. As we
saw in Esther, Mordecai and his people refused to bow down
to the image of the Beast, so there was a pronouncement
of death against them, as we see in this chapter as well,
because the three Hebrews refused to bow down. They were
sentenced to be thrown into the fiery furnace, heated seven
times hotter. The nature of the Beast in Esther, symbolized
by Haman, and the nature of the Beast in Daniel, chapters
two and three, symbolized by a large group of people that
is the image of a man, is similar. And, according to Jesus,
there are only two men in the earth. One shall be taken and
the other left. Those two men are Christ and antichrist.
Who Really Devised the Device?
So the device that Haman devised against the Jews
wasnt really from Haman because he got his authority
from the king of kings, Ahasuerus, the one who ruled the
known world. He is a type of our Lord, the King of kings.
258
Haman got his authority, as anybody does, from the Lord.

Jesus said that He received authority over all the principalities and powers, in this world and the next and, basically, all authority in heaven and on earth was given to Him
(Matthew 28:18). That doesnt leave any for the devil; that
doesnt leave any for the Beast. The Lord knows what He is
doing in this situation. He is raising up a Beast, as He has
done six other major times in history, and here we are coming to the seventh major time in history.
Every time He raised that Beast up, it was to come
against a people who needed to go to their cross, who refused to obey the commands of the King. They had their
own laws but they werent keeping them and thats where
the Church is now in rebellion. So this is the Lords device. (Jer.18:5) Then the word of the Lord came to
me, saying, (6) O house of Israel, cannot I do with
you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the
clay in the potters hand, so are ye in my hand, O
house of Israel. (7) At what instant I shall speak
concerning a nation (Hes talking about Israel.), and
concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break
down and to destroy it; (8) if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil,
I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto
them. Thats exactly what were seeing in Esther and its
what we saw in Daniel chapter three a pronouncement
of the Beast kingdoms to destroy this nation of Israel, or in
the New Testament, it would be the Church.
But God says that there can be a reversal of this if there
is repentance, at least for the person who repents. Thats
what Hes saying here: (9) And at what instant I shall
speak concerning a nation, and concerning a
259
kingdom, to build and to plant it; (10) if they do

that which is evil in my sight, that they obey not
my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. Can God do that?
Well, we hear a lot about unconditional eternal security,
but God says He can do that. He makes the promises and
He doesnt have to keep them because the promises are
all conditional upon us walking by faith. So He says that
if they obey not, He will revoke His promises. (11) Now
therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the
Lord: Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise
a device (Now we see that its God Who is actually devising the device, not the mind of the Beast, not the devil and
not the Illuminati. Dont worry about any of those. Its God
with Whom we have to deal here.) against you: return
ye now every one from his evil way, and amend
your ways and your doings. (12) But they say, It
is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices,
and we will do every one after the stubbornness
of his evil heart.
God devised the device but He did say that there was a
reversal of this judgment for those who would repent and
keep His Word. So when we read in Esther 8:3 of Haman
the Agagite and his device that he had devised against
the Jews, we know that the Lord is using him. The Lord
gave him authority to make this indictment against Gods
people.
The Second Decree
(Est.8:4) Then the king held out to Esther the
260
golden sceptre. So Esther arose, and stood before

the king. (5) And she said, If it please the king, and
if I have found favor in his sight (Esther is the Bride
and she has found favor in His sight because He made
her queen. If anybody could petition the king, it would be
her because of her righteousness. We discovered that her
wedding garment represented the righteous acts of the
saints.), and the thing seem right before the king,
and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to
reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of
Hammedatha the Agagite (Here is this reversal that
were referring to. God is about to make a reversal but Hes
not going to withdraw the indictment. He is just going to
make a reversal, in regard to His people.), which he wrote
to destroy the Jews that are in all the kings provinces: (6) for how can I endure to see the evil that
shall come unto my people? or how can I endure
to see the destruction of my kindred? (7) Then the
king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and
to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther
the house of Haman, and him they have hanged
upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon
the Jews. (8) Write ye also (He didnt say, I am going to take back the indictment that I made when I gave
authority to destroy the Jews. He said, Write ye also.) to
the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the kings name (Of
course, everything that we do, in word or in deed, [do]
all in the name of the Lord Jesus (Col.3:17), the
Scripture commands us. We have authority by the words
that He has spoken to us, just as the king here is giving
authority unto Mordecai the Man-child and to Esther the
Bride.), (8) and seal it with the kings ring (That is
261
his sign of authority.); for the writing which is written in the kings name, and sealed with the kings
ring, may no man reverse.
She had asked Him to reverse it back in verse five but he
says here that the writing the king has written no man may
reverse. God is saying that He is going to give authority
to His Bride and to His Man-child to make another
pronouncement. He is not going to take away the first edict;
it will still be out there. The curse is still out there upon
those who walk in sin and those who are rebellious against
the Law of the King. Thats why the judgment was brought
in the first place.
Reversal for the Faithful
We see another example in Daniel, where the three Hebrews judgment that came against them was that they
were to be thrown into the fiery furnace. I might point out
that the men who threw them in there were destroyed. The
Hebrews were spared and one like a son of the gods
(Dan.3:25) was in there with them. The only thing they
lost was their bonds, as the king noticed. He threw them in
there bound but they came out unbound.
That represents the burning up of the wood, hay and
stubble the burning up of the old man and the freedom that we have through the crucified life. He gives the
reason right here: (28) Nebuchadnezzar spake and
said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach,
and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have
changed the kings word (Theres a reversal, which was
very shocking because, to him, this could not be reversed.),
262
and have yielded their bodies, that they might not

serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
They yielded their bodies as a living sacrifice (Romans
12:1) so that they might prove what is the good and
acceptable and perfect will of God (Rom.12:2).
They changed the kings word because they walked by faith
and because they yielded up their bodies. Of course, as we
present our bodies as a living sacrifice, according to what
God has already told us in Jeremiah 18, He will reverse it.
He will reverse the judgment for us maybe not for everyone around us, but for us.
Let me say that, both of these judgments being out there,
the judgment that was given through Mordecai and Esther,
which well cover momentarily, and the judgment that came
through Haman, theyre both going to be out there. The
only question is, are you going to be an obedient servant,
one who has presented his body as a living sacrifice, so that
you might be one of those on whom that first judgment
does not fall? Praise be to God!
The U.S. Head of the Nations
Now lets go to Jeremiah 27, which is interesting because, as we saw, both of these judgments are going to be
in force at the same time. (Jer.27:6) And now have I
given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the
beasts of the field also have I given him to serve
him. The king was Gods servant to bring Gods people to
their cross. There is another Babylonish kingdom being
raised up right now and, just like in Daniel chapter two,
the head is the head of gold and its called the great eagle
263
in Ezekiel 17. Babylon, the Great Eagle, was at the head of

this image of the Beast, which was the image of a man.
Today, if we look out there at whos at the head of all
the nations, we see that its America and it is definitely a
Babylon. Its turned away from the Lord, so Revelation
would call that a secular Harlot. These lands refers to
Gods people and the nations around them. (7) And all
the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his
sons son, until the time of his own land come: and
then many nations and great kings shall make
him their bondman. That time is coming but, right
now, a Beast kingdom made up of all the nations on Earth
is coming together in a New World Order for the purpose
of persecuting Gods people, to bring them to repentance,
as weve seen in previous chapters.
God says that He has given all nations and even Gods
people into the hand of the king of Babylon. (Jer.27:8)
And it shall come to pass, that the nation and
the kingdom which will not serve the same
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will
not put their neck under the yoke of the king of
Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the Lord,
with the sword, and with the famine, and with
the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his
hand. (9) But as for you, hearken ye not to your
prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams,
nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers,
that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the
king of Babylon: (10) for they prophesy a lie unto
you, to remove you far from your land, and that I
should drive you out, and ye should perish.
264
Permission to Flee, Not to Fight

God forbade that His people fight with the king of
Babylon. He told them to submit and He forbids us today to
take up the sword. He says in Revelation 13:10, that those
who take up the sword are going to die that way. He did
give us permission to flee, but not to fight. (Mat.10:23)
But when they persecute you in this city, flee into
the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not
have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son
of man be come. That is obviously a statement given
unto us in these days, that Gods people will be, in some
cases, fleeing the Beast, but they will not be fighting with
the Beast. They will be submitting when theyre caught,
like the three Hebrews, for instance, were submitting. They
were not fighting. So Hes given authority unto the Beast
and Hes taken authority from us, as far as fighting with
him, using the sword and so on.
Wielding the Sword of the Spirit
Lets see now what Mordecai and Esther wrote unto the
Jews: (Est.8:9) Then were the kings scribes called
at that time, in the third month, which is the month
Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day] thereof;
and it was written according to all that Mordecai
commanded unto the Jews (so the Lord put great authority into the hand of Mordecai), and to the satraps,
and the governors and princes of the provinces
which are from India unto Ethiopia, a hundred
twenty and seven provinces, unto every province
according to the writing thereof, and unto every
265
people after their language. It appears as though

were talking about the Bible again here.
God has given us authority in the Bible. He has written
everything, every command, every decree there. Hes written the decree of the Beast to destroy Gods people and Hes
written the defense of Gods people. Its all there, written in
the Word. And I suspect that Mordecai here, representing
the Man-child, is merely showing to Gods people that they
can stand up for themselves not in the flesh, but in the
Spirit; they have a defense from the curse. (9) ... And to
the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language. Of course, thats the Word of
God. (10) And he wrote the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the kings ring. The Manchild had authority to speak for the King and those who
have authority today speak for the King. They speak Gods
Word to Gods people and Gods Word is our sword against
the enemy.
God has given us a defense against the enemy; its not the
sword of man, but its the Sword of the Spirit and its very
powerful. No enemy can stand up against it, as a matter of
fact. The Lord has told us, Behold, I have given you
authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you (Luk.10:19). Thats
authority that the Lord has passed on to us and I believe
that the Man-child in our day is going to take the authority
thats given there and give it to Gods people. Much of the
leadership of Gods people is not revealing the authority
that they have. In fact, the overwhelming majority of Christianity doesnt believe we have any authority. But in these
days, that authority will be restored. Just as Jesus the Man-
266
child gave that authority in His day, the Man-child in our

day will give that authority to Gods people, who will stand
for their lives and will win this battle. (Est.8:10) And he
wrote the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it
with the kings ring, and sent letters by post on
horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used
in the kings service, bred of the stud: (11) wherein
the king granted the Jews that were in every city
to gather themselves together, and to stand for
their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that
would assault them, [their] little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey. He gave
them a defense; he gave them authority to defend themselves against this Beast kingdom edict to destroy them
and their children.
Who is the power of the people (Est.8:11)? We
were looking at a parable with Haman himself being the
threat. We also found that those who are part of the antichrist have a spirit that doesnt confess Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh (1Jn.4:2). Everyone who is lost is the
antichrist. In Daniel chapter three, we see that the Beast is
an image of everyone who is lost and this Beast is making
war on the saints. We can see the same thing in Revelation
13. Now we are looking at the parable of this body of the
Beast, who is the power of the people making war on the
saints, but God has given us a defense. Hes given us His
Word and Hes given us His promises, which Hes not going to go back on. This is the only thing that will reverse the
judgment that has been spoken against Gods people, the
Jews. We found out who the Jews were. The Jews will have
this authority.
267
Not everybody in Christianity is a spiritual Jew. There

are a lot of people who are just playing religion. A spiritual Jew is one who is circumcised in heart. The flesh is
cut away from their heart and doesnt rule them anymore.
Theyre Jews in the Spirit, not in the letter a New Testament, spiritual Jew, that we call a Christian. The war that
the Beast is making on the Christians is going to be worldwide. Its not one man, its the whole world, the body of the
Beast that we saw in Daniel chapters two and three all
lost mankind. The body of the Beast is making war on the
saints all over the world.
Wherever you are, there is the body of the Beast. Some
people think that hes going to be in a tent over there in
Jerusalem somewhere, or hes going to go into the Temple
there. No, the Temple of God that Paul was talking about,
the temple the son of perdition was in, was the temple of
Gods people (2 Thessalonians chapter two). He used that
word every time, in the New Testament, to mean the temple
of Gods people. Everywhere Gods people are, there is a
Beast that wants to make war on them and destroy them.
But God has given us a defense.
Authority for All True Believers
In fact, you dont really have to be mature in the Lord to
have this defense. (Psa.8:2) Out of the mouth of babes
and sucklings hast thou established strength (the
immature have this strength), Because of thine adversaries (The word adversary is one that we apply to the
devil, but the devil is coming in the body of all lost mankind:
the dragon with the seven heads and 10 horns; it says so in
Revelation 12.), That thou mightest still the enemy
268
and the avenger. Wow, even babes can do this! In fact,

babes do it better than some so-called mature Christians.
(Psa.149:6) [Let] the high praises of God [be]
in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their
hand; (7) To execute vengeance upon the nations
(the Beast) And punishments upon the peoples; (8)
To bind their kings with chains, (Weve been given
the authority by the King, Whatsoever thou shalt
bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in
heaven (Mat.16:19)), And their nobles with fetters of iron; (Psa.149:9) To execute upon them the
judgment written (What is the judgment written? That
the Beast is going to be destroyed. And we know from Daniel chapter seven that it is Gods people who do this.): This
honor have all his saints.
Even the youngest, just as long as they accept the
authority, can do it. Jesus said, And these signs shall
accompany them that believe (Mar.16:17). Thats
the key not whether youre old or young, but whether
you believe. (Psa.149:9) This honor have all his
saints. Praise ye the Lord.
Spreading the Word
So we see that this authority to come against the Beast
body has been given unto us, as Gods saints. I believe that
the Man-child in these days is going to take the authority
of the King to speak in His Name, to reveal this Word thats
already been written to all tribes, nations, tongues and even
in the Jews language, and reveal unto Gods people that
they have this authority to stand for their life. A lot of Gods
269
people dont know that. They cant even stand for their life
against Satan when he tries to bring sickness and destruction against them. And the defense is already written in the
Word. Were not under the curse. The Lord God delivered
us from the curse. If were walking by faith, if were walking
in repentance, we see that God reverses this edict.
We dont even have to be perfect. We can be a babe and
pronounce this judgment. A babe is not somebody who is
mature, walking perfectly before God, knowing a lot, understanding a lot, obeying a lot, because theyre innocent.
They dont know very much, but theyre doing a good job
with what they do know. We can all be walking in the light,
even from babes on up. If we are walking that way with God,
then we have authority because were innocent. The Bible
says, To him therefore that knoweth to do good,
and doeth it not, to him it is sin (Jas.4:17). This is a
really good thing because, no matter what age maturity you
are, you can exercise authority. God is not holding against
you things that you dont know and that you havent walked
in, that He hasnt yet revealed to you.
Were learning to see that we can take the authority that
God has given us in the Word. He says He has given us
the authority to bind and loose. Jesus said, As thou didst
send me into the world, even so sent I them into the
world (Joh.17:18). Jesus pronounced the judgment that
came on those Beast and Harlot systems. In the same way,
a Man-child ministry is coming in our day to pronounce
judgment against the Beast kingdom. The Bride is those
believers who are perfected to the state that they can accept
that authority and act upon it. The sad thing is, here we are,
very close to the beginning of the Tribulation and many of
Gods people do not know that they have any authority at
270
all. This will have to be revealed to them and God is raising

up new ministries to do this: the Man-child ministry, the
Two-Witness ministry and the Bride ministry. The Brides
ministry is made up of those who are walking purely with
the Lord in purity and holiness mature, able to raise up
their younger sister, as the Song of Solomon speaks about.
10 Horns in Type and Shadow
So we see that not only is this body of the Beast going to
be judged by Gods people, but over in Esther chapter nine
we see that the 10 horns are going to be judged by Gods
people. In a way, Haman is the mind of the Beast and here
we can see the body, the 10 horns of the Beast, everything
that we see over there in the book of Revelation. What does
it say the 10 horns are? These are the 10 sons of Haman
who are killed.
Lets jump ahead for a moment: (Est.9:6) And in
Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed
five hundred men. (7) And Parshandatha, and
Dalphon, and Aspatha, (8) and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, (9) and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha, (10) the ten sons
of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews enemy, slew they; but on the spoil they laid not their
hand. It is very interesting that in the names of these 10
sons, there were three letters in Hebrew that were written
smaller than the rest, and the scribes recopied them exactly
as they saw them. To us in English, it would be the letters
t, sh and z. Actually, since letters and numbers are the
same in Hebrew, this calculates to 7-0-7. Thats a common
abbreviation nowadays for 5707, which is the Hebrew year
271
equivalent to 1946. Why would God identify these 10 men

with 1946? This was because in 1946 Nuremburg hanged
10 Nazi Jew-killers for war crimes.
Actually, they had 11 of them to hang, but one of them,
Goehring, killed himself the night before. That left 10, so
that this type could be fulfilled. It worked out that they were
hanged on the Feast of Purim, the celebration of Gods people
being delivered from the Beast that began with Esther. One
of these criminals, Julius Streicher, was the editor of the
Nazi propaganda newspaper, Der Strmer, and he gave an
apparent prophecy from God. Did you know that God can
do that, even through the wicked? He did it in this case: just
as the trap door opened, Streicher shouted out in hatred,
Das ist mein Purimfest 1946! which means, This is my
Purim holiday 1946! He was fulfilling a prophecy here.
So they executed those 10 Nazi Jew-killers in 1946 and its
interesting because the book of Esther was written way back
in 473 B.C., when Mordecai and Esther were used to save
the Jews. That puts approximately 2420 years between the
actual event and its future fulfillment. God had that written
down and prepared for us all that time. We see that this is
a type and shadow of the 10 kings who rule the nations of
the world in the end-time. The seven heads are the seven
world-ruling empires and all the people under them, all the
way up until today. We see a destruction upon the body of
the Beast and the 10 horns here.
Deliverance or Destruction?
Whos bringing this destruction? Well, Gods people are.
Once again, we see that they have accepted this authority
that they have from God to stand for their life. They cant
272
take the sword of the flesh, but they can take the Sword
of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. I remember my
brother Bolivar told me many years ago how he had a very
clear vision from the Lord that he was running from people
during the Tribulation Period and that they had cornered
him in this building, and when he turned around, they were
there and he knew they were there to kill him. He spoke out
very quickly and said, Kill, Lord. And he said, in his vision, all of them fell dead. He didnt raise a hand, a sword,
a weapon to them, but God defended him and Im sure that
these things are going to happen in the days to come.
The destructions that came upon Egypt came right out
of the mouth of Moses and Aaron and it was for the purpose
of setting Gods people free, so that they might leave Egypt.
Once again, the judgments that we see in the book of
Revelation are the same kinds of judgments. These are not
to destroy Gods people, but to bring them to repentance.
At the same time, they ought to set Gods people free from
bondage to the Beast kingdom. These are things that
a lot of people dont know. I think they worry about the
Tribulation Period, that all its going to be is a massacre of
Gods people. Im afraid it will be for some because, as we
noticed, there is no reversal of the judgment of the Beast
upon those who have not turned away from their old ways.
Joy in the City of Lilies
Let me point out something else, also. (Est.8:15) And
Mordecai (Who is the head of the Bride and raised her and
nourished her; and she hearkened unto his commands, just
as she did when she was being raised by him, and just as
David was the head of the Bride Jerusalem.), went forth
273
from the presence of the king in royal apparel of

blue and white (the king had given him authority), and
with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine
linen and purple: and the city of Shushan shouted
and was glad. As I was reading that, the Lord spoke to
me and said, Look up Shushan. So I did and I discovered
that it means the city of lilies.
The next thought that came to me was, I am a rose of
Sharon, A lily of the valleys (Son.2:1). (2) As a lily
among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
The Lord is saying that Hes a lily, but not only that, His
Bride is a lily. So what city do you think it could represent
there? We know in Revelation that the city of the New
Jerusalem is the Bride. Now we see that the Bride is a lily
and the Man-child is a lily. So we see Mordecai in the city
of Shushan, which is where the Bride is and it is a city of
lilies. The people of the Bride are rejoicing because of the
authority that the king, who in type is God, has given to
Mordecai. Authority to do what? Well, one thing we can see
is it is to save the people of God. Praise God! (Est.8:16)
The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and
honor. You wouldnt think you could have those kinds
of things in the Tribulation Period, but thats what were
seeing here.
Revival Among the Nations
(17) And in every province, and in every city,
whithersoever the kings commandment and his
decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a
feast and a good day. And many from among the
peoples of the land became Jews (Wow!); for the
274
fear of the Jews was fallen upon them. Praise God!

Were talking about a great revival here. Thats good news
to me. Some people think that theres just a great slaughter
coming. Well, there is; there is a great falling away and a
great revival and it says here, Many from among the
peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of
the Jews was fallen upon them (17). In the Tribulation to come, a lot of people are going to become Christians. Those who have grace from God, those who have a
gift of eyes to see and ears to hear will come to know God
more quickly than religious people will.
In Jesus day, there were a lot of religious people who
claimed to be Gods people, but they didnt recognize Jesus.
And what happened? The people of the world came and
took their place. They were grafted into the olive tree that
the religious folks were kicked out of because of unbelief.
They didnt accept their Messiah, the Man-child. God took
grace away from them, reprobated them and gave that gift
to the Gentiles, the nations. (17) Many from among
the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear
of the Jews was fallen upon them. They had respect
for Gods people those people in whom Gods power was
being manifested.
The power of God to save from the curses that are falling
upon the world is going to be demonstrated through Gods
Bride, through Gods Man-child and others. Remember,
we have this revelation, that Christ redeemed us from
the curse of the law, having become a curse for us
(Gal.3:13). He bore our curse. Most of the Church doesnt
know that. They dont know that we dont have to be sick
and that we dont have to be cursed because Jesus bore not
only the sin, but the punishment for the sin. Doesnt that
275
sound like righteousness to you?

Yes, He delivered us from the sin and its curse. And
what the Beast is going to do to the apostate Church is part
of the curse. Some of those people are not worthy of that
curse and that will be proven. And even some who pass
away in the midst of their ministry, like the Two Witnesses,
are righteous people. They may pass away, they may die,
but they wont feel the pain of sin, the pain of the curse
because there is a purpose for them passing away. Theyre
resurrected right back up at the last trump. But at any rate,
many of the people of the land will become Jews.
Victory for the Chosen
(Est.9:1) Now in the twelfth month, which is the
month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same,
when the kings commandment and his decree
drew near to be put in execution (referring to the one
through the Beast), on the day that the enemies of
the Jews hoped to have rule over them (whereas
it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had
rule over them that hated them). Wow! I dont know
about you, but I read the end of the Book and we win! A
lot of people dont know that; they dont think that were
going to win this thing. We are going to win this thing. We
cant lose. In particular, the Jew cannot lose because weve
discovered the Jew is that spiritual man whos been circumcised of the flesh (Romans 2:28,29). The flesh is not
the Jew. Hes the man whos been circumcised of the flesh
from his heart. The old man, the flesh, is not ruling the Jew.
These people are not under the curse.
It seems like all the Jews escaped. Guess what? The
276
Jews always escape. If youre a Jew, you will never die. You
might change geography a little bit, but youll never ever die.
Youll have eternal life. At any rate, through the decree that
came through the Beast, the people of the world thought
they would end up destroying the Jews and all they did
was destroy their bonds, like we saw in the fiery furnace.
And the contrary was true: the Jews were saved and they
destroyed the Beast, which is what we see in Daniel chapter
seven.
Truth Will Set You Free
Praise God! This is a good revelation about whats going
to happen in the end-time. We have to put it all together:
(Isa.28:10) For it is precept upon precept, precept
upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here
a little, there a little. God hides some wonderful things
in His Word, if we will just go looking for them and if we
have eyes to see and ears to hear, Gods grace is sufficient.
Oh, thank You, Father! Thank You for showing us these
wonderful things the authority that You are going to give
Your people in the latter days and how You are going to
bring about the crucifixion of the old man, that we might
be free from bondage and might walk with You. We praise
You, in Jesus Name!
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Tower of the Flock: Salvation and Revival
We discovered in our last chapter that there were two
decrees that went forth from the king. One went through
the Beast and that was during the beginning of the last
3 years, a decree to destroy the people of God. Another
went forth through Mordecai the Man-child and the Bride
to save the people of God. If youve been studying with us
very long, then you know that both of these decrees are out
there. That is, that the Lord has given the devil authority
to take advantage of people who do not believe the Word.
It doesnt matter whether youre a Christian or not. Youre
under the curse, unless you believe the promise that youre
delivered from the curse of sin and of death. According
to your faith be it done unto you (Mat.9:29), Jesus
said, and the Bible also says that the Gospel is the power
of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth
(Rom.1:16), so it behooves us to believe the promise to
make it of effect.
Power to Command Respect
We learned that God gave dominion to the people of
God to stand for their life, in Esther 8:11, and we continued on down and found out that because the people of God
stood up for the authority that God gave to them and began
to act on that authority, that the people of the world began to greatly fear them. (Est.8:17) And many from
among the peoples of the land became Jews; for
the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them. Now you
278
know that people dont fear Christianity much nowadays.

I remember when they did; I remember when there was
great respect for Christians, but not anymore. And thats
basically because of the very corrupt things that have been
going on and the fact that the apostate Church has not
shown a demonstration of New Testament Christianity at
all.
I want to tell you, though, that after 3 years of the
Tribulation Period, the Man-child is going to raise Gods
people up into the authority of Jesus Christ and theres
going to be a respect, theres going to be a fear of the Lord
and a fear of Gods people. When people see the real power
of God, not just words, theyre going to come to respect
God and His people.
A World Turned Upside Down
(Est.9:1) Now in the twelfth month, which is the
month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same,
when the kings commandment and his decree
drew near to be put in execution, on the day that
the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over
them (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that
the Jews had rule over them that hated them), (2)
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt:
and no man could withstand them; for the fear of
them was fallen upon all the peoples. Wow! The enemies expected to wipe out Gods people very easily and it
was not so.
It wont be so this time, either, because God has a plan.
Tower of the Flock...
279
Im going to share some things with you here that are

perhaps confusing to some peoples idea of the end-time.
Notice that it says, on the day that the enemies of
the Jews hoped to have rule over them (whereas
it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had
rule over them that hated them) (1). Some people
dont think that this is going to happen in the Tribulation,
but go a little deeper into this and look at who the enemies
are and who the Jews are.
Children of the Promise
Id like to start off with who the Jews are. (Rom.2:28)
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither
is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:
(29) but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in
the letter. So we see something different in the New
Testament than in the Old Testament. A Jew in the Old
Testament was a Jew in the letter; and he was a Jew in
the flesh and the circumcision was external. Of course, the
letter always comes before the Spirit because the letter is
the type and shadow of the greater things to come. What
God planned from the foundation of the world was to have
spiritual Jews. But the letter had to come first, a type and
a shadow to teach Gods people, a much larger group of
Gods people than little Israel, the revelations that they
needed to manifest sonship in order to come into the Kingdom of God.
We see that now a Jew is one inwardly and not outwardly; a Jew is a spiritual man, not a carnal man. A Jew has
eternal life; did you know that flesh and blood cannot
280
inherit the kingdom of God (1Co.15:50)? There is

no external Jew who enters the Kingdom; it is only the internal Jew, the born-again man, who enters the Kingdom.
When we see this, we understand that what were referring to in Esther is Jews who are a type and shadow and
that these things happened unto them by way of
example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come
(1Co.10:11). That parable is concerning these end-times
and spiritual Jews.
Were the natural Jews physically saved back then? Of
course they were, so were not denying any of the letter.
Were saying that the letter now has a spiritual fulfillment.
(Ecc.1:9) That which hath been is that which shall
be; and that which hath been done is that which
shall be done: and there is no new thing under the
sun. When things first come to pass, they usually come to
pass in the letter and when they come to pass again (and
sometimes even again and again), they come to pass many
times in the Spirit. The last fulfillment of any prophecy is
its greatest fulfillment.
So were looking at a parable of the end-times in Esther
and were finding out that were no longer talking about
the physical Jew, but the spiritual Jew. (Rom.9:6) But
[it is] not as though the word of God hath come
to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of
Israel. If youre born naturally from Israel, that does not
mean you are the all Israel spoken of in Romans 11:26;
that is, all of the Kingdom of God, all of Gods people. It
does not mean that youre necessarily among Gods people.
If youre naturally born a Jew, you still have to be born again
to enter the Kingdom. In order to be grafted into the olive
281
tree of Romans 11, you must be born again. It doesnt matter whether you are a Jew or a Gentile, you must be born
again; but in doing so, you become one who is circumcised
in heart and a spiritual Jew. (7) Neither, because they
are Abrahams seed, are they all children: but, In
Isaac shall thy seed be called.
So even if you are a natural seed of Abraham, it doesnt
mean that youre a child of God. It did in the Old Testament,
but not anymore. (8) That is, it is not the children of
the flesh (in other words, those who are natural Israelites)
that are children of God; but the children of the
promise are reckoned for a seed. Paul, speaking to the
Gentile church, said, Now we, brethren, as Isaac was,
are children of promise (Gal.4:28). So, therefore, the
people who believe the promises are the people who are
now Jews, those who are circumcised in heart and born
from above.
The Flesh Enemy of the Spirit
If this is the Jew that is being spoken of in Esther, who
is the enemy? Well, the enemy is two-fold, so let me share
that with you. (Rom.8:5) For they that are after the
flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are
after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. There are
two men he is talking about here: there is a spiritual man
and a carnal man. The people of the world who dont know
Christ are all carnal men, every last one of them. Their
spirit is dead; they are not born from above. And even in
people who are born again, there are still two men: a spiritual man and a carnal man. (Rom.8:6) For the mind of
the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life
282
and peace.
Do we really have a schizophrenic mind when we come
to Christ? Yes, we do because sometimes we hear the voice
of the flesh and sometimes we hear the voice of the Spirit.
Sometimes we hear the voice of God through our spirit and
sometimes we hear the voice of the devil through our flesh.
But these two are enemies, the Bible says: (7) Because
the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for
it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed
can it be: (8) and they that are in the flesh cannot
please God. (9) But ye are not in the flesh but in
the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth
in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ
(Thats the born-again spirit, the spirit that is created in
His image; your personal, human spirit being re-created in
Christs image.), he is none of his. (10) And if Christ
is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the
spirit is life because of righteousness. (11) But if
the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the
dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
So hes referring to two stages here. First, youre born
again in your spirit you have the Spirit of Christ. Then,
the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in your born-again Holy of
Holies. Thats the holiest part of your temple, in which God
dwells. But we see that your carnal man is the enemy of
God and its the enemy of your spiritual man. It says also,
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and Spirit
against the flesh; for these are contrary the one
to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye
would (Gal.5:17). Theres a war going on between the
283
flesh and the Spirit.

Our Biggest Enemy: Self
Just as the Israelite, who was the type of the spiritual
man in the Old Testament, had to go into the Promised Land
and conquer the Canaanite, take his land, live in his house
and raise up his own crops, so it is with us. (2Co.4:16)
Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward
man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed
day by day. In other words, if were walking with the
Lord, walking in the light, our spiritual man is growing.
Hes getting bigger and bigger, taking more and more territory of this thing we call a life. What God desires is that,
through your spirit, He would possess your soul. The devil,
of course, has had a heyday for thousands of years, possessing mens souls through their flesh. So what we want to see
is this spiritual Jew growing and being greater and greater,
as he takes more and more territory. The inner man is taking the outer mans place, his land. He is raising up his own
fruit, so to speak.
When we look at the Jew in Esther, well notice that
we dont see any Jews dying. Since this is talking about
the real Jew, the Jew who is circumcised in heart, one in
whom the flesh has been cut off, that Jew is not going to
die. What I want to point out to you is that we already have
a covenant with God. Weve been given a redemption by
God to conquer this enemy, the enemy inside us, the most
important enemy to conquer. If we dont conquer that one,
we wont be conquering any others. In order for that Jew
to conquer all of his enemies, the first and most important
one to conquer is self. Jesus made a way because He put
284
self to death on the cross and He did it for us so that we

could do it, too.
Deliverance from All Enemies
(Luk.1:68) Blessed [be] the Lord, the God of Israel; For he hath visited and wrought redemption
for his people (We understand that God has redeemed
us through what Jesus Christ did on the cross. He has paid
the penalty so that we could be redeemed, so that we could
be delivered from the curse.), (69) And hath raised up
a horn of salvation for us In the house of his servant David (70) (As he spake by the mouth of his
holy prophets that have been from of old), (71)
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand
of all that hate us. Notice that salvation is more than
just the saving of the soul. Its salvation from our enemies,
being delivered from the curse of being ruled over by our
enemies, which is the same type and shadow that we see in
Egypt, where Israel was in bondage to the Egyptians. Their
carnal man, figuratively in type, ruled over the spiritual
man and, in baptism at the Red Sea, the Egyptian died and
the Israelite came up out of the waters on the other side
and entered into the wilderness. That type and shadow is
true for us, as well. Weve been saved from our enemies.
Some people dont understand that weve been saved
from the curse, weve been saved from sin and weve
been saved from the carnal nature of the old man. (71)
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand
of all that hate us. Thats great! That goes beyond just
the enemy on the inside. That includes all of our enemies
on the outside and all of our enemies in heavenly places, in
285
the second heaven, where Satan and his demons rule and
seek through our flesh to conquer us and bring us under his
dominion, which is death, not life. The mind of the flesh is
death. Satan seeks to kill us, spiritually speaking, because
if we walk after the flesh, we must die. (72) To show
mercy towards our fathers, And to remember his
holy covenant; (73) The oath which he sware unto
Abraham our father, (74) To grant unto us that
we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies
Should serve him without fear, (75) In holiness
and righteousness before him all our days.
Believing the Full Gospel
Notice He didnt say that we wouldnt get this until the
end; He said that we would be able to serve Him and not our
enemies all our days. This is what the Lord paid the price
for! There is an awfully large portion of Christianity which
doesnt believe that weve been delivered out of the power
of darkness; they dont believe weve been delivered from
the curse (Galatians 3:13); they dont believe weve been
delivered from sickness (1 Peter 2:24); they dont believe
that we can live a life of righteousness and purity before
the Lord because of the Blood of the Lamb. Well, thats just
plain not believing, folks. There are a lot of non-believers
in what we loosely call Christianity.
But notice what God redeemed us for. He said, To grant
unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of
our enemies (Whichever ones we want to point out here
whether its the demons, the flesh, the Beast around us it
makes no difference.) Should serve him without fear,
(75) In holiness and righteousness before him all
286
our days (Luk.1:74-75). Wow! Thats what redemption

is all about; and if you study it and you find that it is your
benefit thats been passed on to you through Jesus Christ,
and you believe it, then it becomes yours. God has given us
the victory. (Heb.10:14) For by one offering he hath
perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Not in the Sweet By-and-By, But Now
Heres another thing Id like to share with you about
the enemies: (Mic.4:9) Now why dost thou cry out
aloud? Is there no king in thee (Thats a good question to ask a lot of people. They dont act like they have any
promises and they dont act like Gods given them these
promises.), is thy counsellor perished, that pangs
have taken hold of thee as of a woman in travail?
Remember the woman in travail in Revelation 12? At the
beginning of the Tribulation Period, a woman is in travail with the Man-child. (10) Be in pain, and labor to
bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in
travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city
(Now is when the woman is in travail with the Man-child.
Now were in the same place that Revelation 12 is.), and
shalt dwell in the field (The woman went into the wilderness in Revelation 12.), and shalt come even unto
Babylon (Did you know that Revelation 13 is also the
bondage of the Beast? The Beast makes war on the saints.
Here the Beast in that particular day is Babylon.): there
shalt thou be rescued (A lot of people dont understand
that this bondage is coming specifically for us to be rescued
out of it. God is not planning on destroying His people.);
there will the Lord redeem thee from the hand of
287
thine enemies. There it is again, the Lord redeem thee

from the hand of thine enemies.
A redemption is a price that is paid for someone to be
free from bondage. Jesus paid that price and this redemption is ours. Were redeemed from the hand of our enemies.
The devil would have us believe that he has authority and
power over us, but nothing could be further from the truth.
The Scriptures certainly tell us thats a lie. Only in holding
fast to what the Scriptures have to say, can we have dominion over the devil. The Lord said, Behold, I have given
you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and
nothing shall in any wise hurt you (Luk.10:19).
(Mic.4:11) And now many nations are assembled
against thee (Isnt that exactly what we see in Revelation
13? The Beast is all the nations of the earth, the unsaved
people that are basically allied against the people of God.
Jesus said, Ye shall be hated of all the nations for
my names sake (Mat.24:9).), that say, Let her be
defiled, and let our eye see [our desire] upon Zion.
(Mic.4:12) But they know not the thoughts of the
Lord (I dare say, most Christians dont know the thoughts
of the Lord, either.), neither understand they his
counsel; for he hath gathered them as the sheaves
to the threshing-floor. This is talking about the
nations, not the people of God. (13) Arise and thresh, O
daughter of Zion (Wow! Gods people are really going to
have authority, like we read in Esther.); for I will make
thy horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass;
and thou shalt beat in pieces many peoples: and
I will devote their gain unto the Lord, and their
substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. Praise
288
God!
Manifest Sons
Is that replicated in other places in Scripture so we can
really be sure of such a thing? Yes, it is. Lets look at this text
again: (Est.9:1) ... When the kings commandment
and his decree drew near to be put in execution,
on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to
have rule over them, (whereas it was turned to the
contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that
hated them). Now I want to say that the most important
enemy is the flesh. The Beast is being raised up, first of all,
to bring the flesh to the cross something that we find hard
to do on our own. Jesus said, Whosoever doth not bear
his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my
disciple (Luk.14:27). This crucifixion is necessary for us
to enter into the Kingdom of God. The old man cannot go;
the new man has to win and that entails crucifixion of the
old man.
Once the new man stands up fully in you, I tell you, hes
powerful. (Rom.8:19) For the earnest expectation of
the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons
of God. Wow! Jesus is being replicated here on earth, over
and over, many millions of times and God is waiting for His
Son to come to fruition, so that we can finish the work here.
The final thing that God does is to destroy the Beast and
Hes going to use His people to do that.
Weve already read this in past studies of Daniel chapter
seven. We can read this in Psalm chapter seven, also. I
will share through a couple of places in Psalms this same
principle, so we can see that its not just the fleshly man, its
289
our enemies around us, the Beast all around us. We studied
in 1 John chapter four how the Beast is everyone whose
spirit doesnt confess that Jesus Christ is (present tense)
come in the flesh. When we come upon an unbeliever, their
spirit confesses to us that Jesus does not live in that person.
It says, This is the spirit of the antichrist. The spirit of the
antichrist is in every lost person. Its an unregenerate spirit
thats been created in the image of the devil, believe it or
not, because they have followed their father.
Fiery Trials Burn Up the Old Man
(Psa.7:10) My shield is with God, Who saveth
the upright in heart. This is what has to happen.
(Pro.10:2) But righteousness delivereth from
death. So He saveth the upright in heart. What happens
until that time? Quite often, were given to be trampled under foot by the nations. The crucifixion has to come; the
putting to death of that old man has to come. Jesus exercised His authority to be the Son of God, to heal the sick,
to cast out devils, to destroy the works of the devil, but He
didnt exercise any authority to not go to the cross. He knew
that was necessary; He knew that life came from going to
the cross and that if the old man dies, the new man will live.
We receive baptism because we accept the fact that were
going down as the old man and were coming up as the new
man. We accept it by faith and we receive it by faith. God
is going to have a righteous people; thats what the Tribulation is coming for. For the people who want to fly away
because they think theyre good enough, God doesnt think
so and He will prove them wrong.
(Psa.7:11) God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God
290
that hath indignation every day. (12) If a man

turn not, he will whet his sword (If a person doesnt
turn from their sin, God will sharpen up His blade.); He
hath bent his bow, and made it ready; (Psa.7:13)
He hath also prepared for him the instruments
of death; He maketh his arrows fiery [shafts].
(14) Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he
hath conceived mischief (This is, of course, the wicked
man.), and brought forth falsehood. (15) He hath
made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the
ditch which he made. He made a trap but he was the
one who was caught in it. That sounds very similar to what
weve looked at with Daniel and the three Hebrews and so
on. Their enemies have always fallen into the trap that they
themselves set. (16) His mischief shall return upon
his own head, And his violence shall come down
upon his own pate. Notice that the Lord was ready to
judge but the wicked thought that it was their part to judge
the people of God. It didnt turn out that way because God is
always a righteous judge. Everything He does is righteous.
Sometimes Christians dont think so because they go
through fiery trials, they go through crucifixions, but thats
a proof of Gods righteousness.
Firstfruits of Christ in Us
Now what is God saying here? (Psa.8:2) Out of the
mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, that
thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. Is
He saying that He would just as soon use the babes and
sucklings? Of course. The Man-child is being birthed in ev-
291
ery one of us who walks after the Spirit of God and that
Man-child is Jesus Christ, Christ in you, the hope of
glory (Col.1:27).
When we see Revelation 12, were talking about the
firstfruits of those to come into the image of Jesus Christ,
but still there are second, third and fourthfruits. The
ministry of the firstfruits is to bring the rest of the body
into that image. The firstfruits have a special ministry, an
eternal position with God. Its very important that we now
go after God with all of our heart and not wait for the rest
of the people because its the firstfruits who are eternally in
a position of authority.
His Name Is a Strong Tower
(Psa.9:9) The Lord also will be a high tower for
the oppressed, A high tower in times of trouble.
Praise God! The Lord is a place of protection, a refuge, a
place of provision. (Pro.18:10) The name of the Lord
is a strong tower; The righteous runneth into it,
and is safe (or set on high). The Name of the Lord represents righteousness, authority and power. We have to accept Gods authority to manifest sonship. The word name
actually means nature, character and authority. Were
taking on His Name: His nature, His character and His authority.
We cant reject part of that and still be accepting the
Jesus of the Bible. A lot of religions have rejected the authority of God, but theyre going to find that when we come
to the Tribulation Period, this is going to be necessary to
save their lives. The Bible says, Because he hath set his
love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will
292
set him on high (the same terminology), because he

hath known my name (Psa.91:14). Do you know the
real, true Jesus the Jesus of the Bible? Do you know His
nature, His character and His authority? Do you know that
He gave all this to you? In the Tribulation Period, God is
going to restore this revelation to His people, so that they
can stand up and conquer the Beast, the Beast in themselves, the Beast in the world and, also, Satan because Satan uses both beasts. Thats his medium for getting at us
and conquering us.
(Psa.9:10) And they that know thy name will
put their trust in thee; for thou, Lord, hast not
forsaken them that seek thee. Amen to that! (15) The
nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:
In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
The nations have laid a trap for Gods people. The devil has
been very arrogant in them, thinking that they are going to
conquer Gods people. But as we just read in Micah 4, God
has another plan and its that we get into the tower of God.
A Place To Be Set on High
Years ago, the Lord showed me the tower and my part in
building it. In a vision, I was caught up to the New Jerusalem and the doors opened and there was the Lord standing
there. He showed me a tower in the midst of this New Jerusalem and the tower was built like a log cabin, stacked up
but narrowing toward the top. In the top, there was a place
to stand. I really didnt understand what I was looking at.
He also showed me a payment book and that He was going
to pay me so much a month.
Without any visible means of support, I went forth to
293
Pensacola. We figured it up some time after that; God was

actually doing this and financial support to that amount
was coming from many different directions. It was awesome!
But He revealed to me that the tower represented the
Tower of the Flock. (Mic.4:7) And I will make that
which was lame a remnant, and that which was
cast far off a strong nation (God is going to bring
forth a remnant of what we loosely call Christianity, a
strong nation.): and the Lord will reign over them
in mount Zion from henceforth even for ever. The
Mount Zion were talking about, the one thats our mother
from above, which would be born from above, is the one
referred to by Paul when he said, But ye are come unto
mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb.12:22). Of course, its
been a long time since Gods people have dwelt there because theres been a great falling away, but God is raising
up, again, His Tower of the Flock. (Mic.4:8) And thou, O
tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion,
unto thee shall it come, yea, the former dominion
shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem. The daughter of Jerusalem is the born-again Jerusalem, the New Jerusalem. The dominion is returning to
Israel, to the New Testament Jews. The dominion that we
had 2000 years ago, when Paul said that they had come to
that heavenly city, that dominion is returning.
Gods people have lost the idea of dominion over the
devil, over the curse, over the old man, over sin, over the
Beast in the world theyve lost the understanding of the
Gospel. All this is returning. Go back to the beginning of
the chapter: (Mic.4:1) But in the latter days (Is that
294
not where we are now?) it shall come to pass, that the

mountain of the Lords house shall be established
on the top of the mountains (This mountain of the
Lords house is going to be established on the top of the
mountains plural so this is not literal, this is spiritual.
The mountains are the kingdoms of the world that we see
in Revelation 17.), and it shall be exalted above the
hills; and peoples shall flow unto it. (2) And many
nations (Gentiles) shall go and say, Come ye, and
let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to
the house of the God of Jacob (Gods spiritual house is
Gods holy people.); and he will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion
shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord
from Jerusalem; (3) and he will judge between
many peoples, and will decide concerning strong
nations afar off: and they shall beat their swords
into plowshares. The Lord is going to judge those
nations. But notice that Zions portion is to rule and to
reign with Christ. Then we read on down and we find out
that this place of Zion, the place of safety, is the Tower of
the Flock. Its your being set up on high because you know
His name (Psalm 91:14). Hes bringing us to a place where
we can rule over the nations.
The Plot That Backfired
This is what is going to happen at the end of the Tribulation Period and in the Day of the Lord. (Psa.9:15) The
nations are sunk down in the pit that they made:
In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
(16) The Lord hath made himself known, he hath
295
executed judgment: The wicked is snared in the

work of his own hands. (19) Arise, O Lord; let
not man prevail: Let the nations be judged in thy
sight. Thats exactly what God is going to do. Thats what
God did through Moses the Man-child when he came into
Egypt to deliver Gods people. He judged the nations. Thats
what the type and shadow is. (20) Put them in fear, O
Lord: Let the nations know themselves to be but
men. Thats whats going to happen and its proven in
many other places in the Bible. (Psa.10:2) In the pride
of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them
be taken in the devices that they have conceived.
Oh, they have a plan and the devil has a plan through them.
But its not going to happen, folks. Its not their plan
thats being fulfilled; its Gods and He has whetted His
sword. He is a righteous judge and He is going to judge the
wicked. (9) He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert (This reminds us of Daniels lions den, but the curse
didnt come upon Daniel; it came upon the men who threw
him in there!); He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He
doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his
net. It is a trap that theyre setting, but dont worry about it
because Gods in control of the lions. (10) He croucheth,
he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his
strong ones. (11) He saith in his heart: God hath
forgotten; He hideth his face; he will never see it.
(12) Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thy hand: Forget
not the poor. This is a cry of people in tribulation and
trouble. Looking at what is going on around them, they feel
that God has forgotten, but He hasnt forgotten. He is the
One laying the real trap here. (15) Break thou the arm
of the wicked; And as for the evil man, seek out
296
his wickedness till thou find none. (16) The Lord is

King for ever and ever: The nations are perished
out of his land.
What is His land? We are told that at the last trump, The
kingdom of the world is become [the kingdom] of
our Lord, and of his Christ: and he shall reign for
ever and ever (Rev.11:15). Wow! So this is His land. He
has a much bigger land nowadays, doesnt He? (Psa.10:17)
Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the meek: Thou
wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine
ear to hear; (18) To judge the fatherless and the
oppressed, That man who is of the earth may be
terrible no more. That is speaking about the end. We
could go on and on because there is proof after proof of the
same thing. We already looked in Daniel and saw this.
Judgment Through the People of God
(Est.9:4) For Mordecai was great in the kings
house, and his fame went forth throughout all the
provinces; for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater. (5) And the Jews smote all their
enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with
slaughter and destruction, and did what they
would unto them that hated them. Notice that the
Two Witnesses in Revelation 11 smote the earth as often as
they desired with one of the curses that were given to them.
They were making war upon the Beast.
Also, we notice in verse 12 that 500 in the palace were
killed and in verse 15, 300 were killed. Then in verse 16,
75,000 were killed and its talking about their conquering
the Beast. The 500 in the palace refers to leadership. Its
297
been given into the hand of Gods people to speak the

judgments that are going to bring the Beasts kingdom
down. Generally, in the past, what God has done is to cause
the Beast kingdom to kill off the Beast kingdom. He has
brought division between them. The spoken Word brings
this division in between them and they destroy each other.
Rest from Our Own Works
But what happens to Gods people? (18) But the Jews
that were in Shushan assembled together on the
thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth
thereof; and on the fifteenth [day] of the same they
rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
(22) As the days wherein the Jews had rest from
their enemies. Do you see what were headed for?
Were headed toward the rest of God. We should tremble
to not enter into the rest of God.
What is the rest of God? Hebrews chapter four tells us
very plainly it is when we believe Gods promises, we cease
from our own works and we enter into His rest. The Greek
word for rest used there is sabbatismos. Its not the only
place in the Bible that Gods people are commanded to
keep the Sabbath, but this word is different and it means
a continual rest. We need to labor to enter into His
rest, which is a ceasing from our own works, whether it
be religious works, anger or the lusts of the flesh that are
moving through us. We are to cease from our works and
enter into Gods works, which were finished from the
foundation of the world (Heb.4:3). And we enter
into those works through faith. (3) For we who have
believed do enter into that rest. Gods people are
298
finally going to enter into the rest and thats a place of

power.
The Curse Is Lifted
That rest is a place where enemies are destroyed and,
first of all, your own enemy, the old beast that lives in you,
is destroyed. Its a place where the curse that is causeless alighteth not (Pro.26:2). Youre not under the
curse when youre not walking in sin and Jesus Christ is
living and walking in you. There is no curse. Your curse, in
effect, is the old man. If the old man dies, theres no curse
upon you. The curse is meant to bring the old man to the
end of himself, but when that happens, thats when God
has finished the good work He has started in you, which He
promised.
(2Th.1:10) When he shall come to be glorified in
his saints, and to be marveled at in all them that
believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day. Wow! God is going to be glorified in
His people! Hes going to stand up in His people and His
people are going to manifest their sonship. Do you know
what sonship is? Its Christ in you. Hes the Son; Hes the
only begotten Son. When youre born again, youre that
born son because inside of you lives Christ. As weve seen,
Jesus said, No one hath ascended into heaven, but
he that descended out of heaven (Joh.3:13). The
Lord is coming for Christ in you; Hes coming for that spiritual man, which has been re-created in His image by a people who have believed His Word.
Remember the parable when the Sower went forth to
sow the seed and the seed was the Word of God. That seed
299
went into the hearts of men and brought forth 30-, 60and 100-fold fruit of Christ. The seed is Christ; its Christs
seed. Whats the only thing that can bring forth Christ
in you, the hope of glory (1Co.1:27)? Gods plan is
going to be fulfilled through this Tribulation. Hes going to
use this Beast, which is necessary to bring about this sonship in Gods people. But when the sonship is manifested in
Gods people, then, Beast, youd better look out; and Harlot, youd better look out. Gods people are going to be the
vessel through whom God springs the trap on them.
Weve seen over and over in Esther, Daniel, Psalm
chapter two and Micah chapter four that the Beast and
Harlot have the idea that theyre going to conquer the people
of God. (Psa.2:1) Why do the nations rage, And the
peoples meditate a vain thing? (2) The kings of the
earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel
together, Against the Lord, and against his
anointed, [saying], (3) Let us break their bonds
asunder, And cast away their cords from us. (4)
He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord
will have them in derision. The nations are going to be
gathered together against His anointed and we who have
been filled with His Spirit are His anointed. (2Co.1:21)
Now he that establisheth us with you in Christ,
and anointed us, is God. If you have not been filled,
what are you waiting for? The most common evidence in
all of the Book of Acts that you have been filled is speaking
in tongues. This is part of Gods plan. Christ, meaning
anointed, is not only that individual from heaven Whom
we love and serve, but He is that body on earth that we are
becoming. Who lives in the body of Christ on earth? Christ
does; the Son of God does. And once we get that revelation
300
of who we are in Him and Who He is in us, were going to

be standing up and taking our position in this world and, in
this case, to judge the world. Oh, thank You, Father!
We Are Testimonies of Gods Power
(Est.10:1) And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.
(2) And all the acts of his power and of his might,
and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they
not written in the book of the chronicles of the
kings of Media and Persia? (3) For Mordecai the
Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus (Hes next to the
King of kings because this is the Man-child.), and great
among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of
his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and
speaking peace to all his seed. We see, in the book of
Esther, the manifestation and the raising up of the Manchild, who in turn raised up the Bride, who in turn saved
the rest of the people of God.
Thats the story we see in the end-time, too. God is, stepby-step, raising up a people into His image, the same way
the Beast is being raised up step-by-step. Were very close
now to the time of seeing the John the Baptist ministry
and, then, the Man-child ministry after that; then the Two
Witness ministry and right on down the road with the Bride
being raised up; and so on and so forth. These ministries
are taught to us in the Old and the New Testaments. Gods
power is going to bring all this to pass. Its His plan and its
beautiful; its perfect.
301
His-Story Repeats
Esther is that story and I know weve barely scratched
the surface of all the wonderful things that are hidden here
in Esther. If you read it and ask God to open your eyes, Hell
continue to do it. Every time you read it, God will open up
more and more understanding and more and more truth
to you. Praise be to God! We ask the Lord to continue to
open our eyes and, most of all, we ask Him to make us that
people in whom His Son lives, that people who have come
to the end of themselves, who have taken advantage of this
grace, to die and yet live, and to go forth and do the works
of the Lord Jesus Christ in these end times. Thank You,
Father!
